Shakespeare references continue to pop up in most of the books that I read. Serial Murderers, edited by Art Crockett, contains a reference to Romeo And Juliet. Harold Banks and Ed Corsetti, in the chapter on the Boston stranger, write, “Albert DeSalvo is a sick man, whether you call it schizophrenia, character disorder or a rose by any other name” (p. 376). “A rose by any other name” is the way the line is worded in Q1, but the better wording, which is in Q2 and the First Folio, is “A rose by any other word.” But the line in question from this chapter is actually part of a quoted passage from attorney F. Lee Bailey, so Banks and Corsetti are not completely responsible for the poor Q1 choice.
Serial Murderers was published in 1990 by Pinnacle Books.
