Crime fighting Canadian-style is the subject as three crime writers discuss their creations in this darkly humorous arts documentary. These authors have found success in creating low-key heros who resemble their readers. Howard Engle's detective, Benny Cooperman, lives in a town patterned after St. Catharines, Ontario and he is, naturally, sickened by gory crime scenes. To enhance the eerie sense of realism in his work, Lawrence Gough records details of Vancouver life with his camcorder. Gough creates especially graphic murder scenes because crime should seem exceptional, not normal. L.R.Wright places her mysteries amid the serenity and beauty of Sechelt, British Columbia.

Dramatic changes in education funding have changed purchasing patterns with implications for the Canadian publishing industry. The main issues are: high school libraries have small budgets, reduced staff and less emphasis on building collections; marketing problems, both geographic scope and expense; no book review mechanism for high schools; Canadian books are expensive; curriculum guidelines are increasingly restrictive; publishers struggle through the process to get work authorized or added to provincial lists without guarantee of adoptions or sales. Programs designed to address these challenges have met with varying degrees of success.
