JUDGE. JURY. EXECUTIONER.

On a cold January morning, the killer executed Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse in broad daylight. Eight shots fired a block from the Kaufman County Courthouse. Two months later, a massacre. The day before Easter, the couple slept. Bunnies, eggs, a flower centerpiece gracing the table. Death rang their doorbell and filled the air with the rat-a-tat-tat of an assault weapon discharging round after round into their bodies.

Eric Williams and his wife, Kim, celebrated the murders with grilled steaks. Their crimes covered front pages around the world, many saying the killer placed a target square on the back of law enforcement. Williams planned to exact revenge on all those who had wronged him, one at a time. Throughout the spring of 2013, Williams sowed terror through a small Texas town, and a quest for vengeance turned to deadly obsession. His intention? To keep killing, until someone found a way to stop him.

      True crime author Casey (Possessed) tells the story of how on the morning of January 31, 2013, in Kaufman County, TX, Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was gunned down while walking to the county courthouse. Then eight weeks later, on March 30, District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were murdered in their home. Panic and fear set in among the legal community. After the second murder, police arrested Eric Williams, once a powerful attorney and elected official in the county until McLelland and Hasse prosecuted him for "removing" three monitors from the IT room without authorization. Because of his conviction, Williams was removed from his elected position and lost his law license. Williams then drew up a hit list for those he perceived had wronged him. With the help of his wife, Kim, he killed Hasse and the McLellands. Convicted of murdering these prosecutors, Williams was sentenced to death, with his wife receiving a 40-year sentence. Casey's account is well researched and detailed, perhaps too much so at times, as it takes a while to get the story of the crime. VERDICT For all true crime collections.--Michael Sawyer, Daytona Beach, FL
