THE ULTIMATE READERS? GUIDE TO THE ART OF FORENSICS!
An intrepid investigator crawls through miles of air conditioning ducts to capture the implicating fibers of a suspect?s wool jacket . . . A forensic entomologist discovers insects in the grill of a car and nails down a drug dealer?s precise geographical path . . . A gluttonous criminal?s fingerprints are lifted from a chocolate truffle. . . .
Filled with these and many other intriguing true stories, and packed with black and white illustrations and photographs, The Forensic Casebook draws on interviews with police personnel and forensic scientists?including animal examiners, botanists, zoologists, firearms specialists, and autoposists?to uncover the vast and detailed underworkings of criminal investigation. Encyclopedic in scope, this riveting, authoritative book leaves no aspect of forensic science untouched, covering such fascinating topics as:
