Crime novelist and former police officer Nigel McCrery provides an
account of all the major areas of forensic science from around the world
over the past two centuries. The book weaves dramatic narrative and
scientific principles together in a way that allows readers to figure
out crimes along with the experts.
Readers
are introduced to such fascinating figures as Dr. Edmond Locard, the
“French Sherlock Holmes”; Edward Heinrich, “Wizard of Berkeley,” who is
credited with having solved more than 2,000 crimes; and Alphonse
Bertillon, the French scientist whose guiding principle, “no two
individuals share the same characteristics,” became the core of criminal
identification.
Landmark crime investigations examined in depth include
a notorious murder involving blood evidence and defended by F. Lee
Bailey, the seminal 1936 murder that demonstrated the usefulness of the
microscope in examining trace evidence, the 1849 murder of a wealthy
Boston businessman that demonstrated how difficult it is to successfully
dispose of a corpse, and many others.
