Less than a week after Col. Russell Williams’ arrest shocked the country, Random House Canada has announced it will have a book out on the accused killer this fall.

Betrayal In Uniform: The Secret Life of Colonel Russell Williams is expected to be on book shelves in late 2010, the publisher announced Thursday.

“Though the charges against the colonel are not yet proven, the case is riveting and deserves the best possible reporting to bring all its fascinating aspects to life,” Anne Collins, publisher of the Knopf Random Canada Publishing Group, stated in a press release.

“People can’t stop talking about the alleged abuse of his position, the colonel’s (alleged) ability to lead a double life, the tragic loss of these vital young women.”

Random House has tapped Globe and Mail reporter Timothy Appleby to write it.
