Random House to publish book on accused air force Col. Russell Williams in fall

(CP) – February 12th, 2010

TORONTO — A book on the Canadian air force colonel recently accused of killing two women and assaulting two others is set for release later this year.

Random House Canada says "Betrayal in Uniform: The Secret Life of Colonel Russell Williams" will be published in the fall.

Timothy Appleby, a longtime crime reporter and foreign correspondent for the Globe and Mail, is writing the book.

In a release, he says "Williams looked to be everything a career military man should be" and "his shock arrest has left his friends, family, neighbours and the Canadian Armed Forces reeling."

Williams, a former commander of CFB Trenton in eastern Ontario, was charged Monday with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Jessica Lloyd and Cpl. Marie-France Comeau.

He is also charged with two counts of sexual assault and is scheduled to make a court appearance via video on Feb. 18.
