About this title

Synopsis

Using the latest modern technology available to forensic science, crime scene investigators answer questions others never even thought to ask. Here are over 30 fascinating modern cases of forensic detective work, featuring the whole range of forensic techniques: genetic fingerprinting, blood splatter analysis, laser ablation, toxicology, and ballistics analysis. The investigators trust only the evidence to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves: the victims. These cases, usually successful ? but sometimes dangerously flawed ? offer a remarkable insight into real-life crime scene investigation.
