Synopsis
A forgotten woman. A revolutionary idea. The true story behind the birth of modern forensic science.
In a time when women were shut out of science and police work was more art than evidence, Frances Glessner Lee created the "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death"--detailed dioramas used to train homicide detectives how to observe, think critically, and solve complex cases.
18 Tiny Deaths by Bruce Goldfarb is the gripping, critically acclaimed biography of the woman who became known as the mother of forensic science. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Goldfarb captures how Lee defied gender barriers and reshaped a field long dominated by men.
"Devotees of TV's CSI will have their minds blown." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
