Overview

CRACKING THE BILLY THE KID CASE HOAX: THE BIZARRE PLOT TO EXHUME BILLY THE KID, CONVICT SHERIFF PAT GARRETT OF MURDER, AND BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNTIED STATES - Paperback, non-fiction, black-and-white, at 984 pages, illustrated by primary documents. This book is both humorous and terrifying, as it exposes, in meticulous detail, arguably the most elaborate historic/forensic hoax ever perpetrated. Billy the Kid history was hijacked as a publicity stunt by a governor and lawmen hoping for fame; fortune; and, preposterously, a run at the U.S. presidency. Its sleuthing author was the hoaxers' nightmare: a medical doctor coincidentally specializing in forensics and Billy the Kid! Laboring for a decade to save the iconic Old West history, she accidentally stumbled on the hoaxers' impenetrable corruption of cronyism; made comical by their grim determination to win at all costs, and made dangerous by their out-of-control power. Finally, their hoax turned to scandal of grave robbing, evidence tampering, and misusing potentially a million taxpayer dollars for cover-ups. As a how-to for the extreme sport of whistle-blowing, it is unmatched. THE AUTHOR, Gale Cooper, a Harvard educated, M.D. psychiatrist specializing in murder case consultation, has published Billy the Kid books. Her docufiction novels are BILLY AND PAULITA and JOY OF THE BIRDS. Her non-fictions are MEGAHOAX: THE STRANGE PLOT TO EXHUME BILLY THE KID AND BECOME PRESIDENT; BILLY THE KID'S WRITINGS, WORDS, AND WIT; BILLY THE KID'S PRETENDERS: BRUSHY BILL AND JOHN MILLER; and PARDON FOR BILLY THE KID: AN ANALYSIS. She has also written and illustrated other adult non-fiction books, as well as children's fiction and non-fiction books.
