Possible Robert Pickton memoir removed from Amazon amid outrage, investigation
VANCOUVER — British Columbia is promising a law to prevent offenders profiting from their crimes after a book reportedly written by serial killer Robert Pickton was published, drawing condemnation from the premier and the federal minister of public safety.
By Monday afternoon, the 144-page book titled “Pickton: In His Own Words” was no longer available through the website of online retailer Amazon.
Outskirts Press, which published the book, issued a statement Monday saying it had asked Amazon remove the book from its website.
“We have a long-standing policy of not working with, nor publishing work by, incarcerated individuals,” the statement said.
