His heinous cash-for-bodies deal foreshortened his trial, and resulted in the law currently on Canadian books that forbids criminals from benefiting financially from their crimes. \u003cbr\u003e Olson was just the pimple on the hide of a misogynist culture, as this long poem sequence attests. \u003cbr\u003e Sometimes a book project chooses its author, as this one did when the author recognized one of the victims from her photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Stevenson was born in Victoria, B.C., in 1952 and has lived in western Canada and Nigeria.
