"We've heard a lot more about church abuse and coverups since then. True crime writers were among the most vocal detractors, including the man I consider the best of the best, Jack Olsen. Olson called for the book to be pulled from the shelves and re released as fiction.

He was quoted as saying, if you're going to sell a story as fact, it better stand up to scrutiny."
