Originally released in 2011, New York Times bestselling author Steve Jackson has revised and updated this classic true crime about one of the most monstrous serial killers in American history.

"Here's What Happens When You Mess With Me!"
—William Neal

William Neal, who called himself "Wild Bill Cody," was seductive and skillful at separating love-struck women from their money, and ultimately, their lives. Apprehended by police, Neal, who proclaimed himself “better than Ted Bundy,” pleaded guilty to three murders then insisted on representing himself at his death penalty trial. But the psychopathic killer found himself up against the incredible courage of his one surviving victim.

    I see a 2002 edition of this book, isn’t that when it first came out, not 2011?

On July 12, 1976, a peaceful summer morning in Fullerton, California, just 22 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the peace was broken by a horrendous act of violence that would leave seven people dead and two others seriously wounded. The attack took place inside the library at California State University, Fullerton, where a custodian, Edward Charles Allaway, carried out what at the time was the deadliest mass shootings in the county’s history.


Without any real evidence, Allaway became motivated to kill by the delusion that his coworkers were involved in a conspiracy against him, were having sex with his young wife, and forcing her to participate in the creation of pornographic films in the college’s library basement. Driven by these untrue beliefs, he turned a place of peaceful learning into a chamber of horror.
