Forensic Science takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the world of evidence collection and analysis.
What happened? Who did what? How? Why? These are the questions police and prosecutors must answer to solve a crime and bring the criminal to justice. Sometimes the task is relatively easy. Other times it is monumentally difficult, like reconstructing a lost language from a single sentence of text.
Excerpt
"To the police inspector, it seemed like an open-and-shut case: in the early hours of the morning, after a restless night spent pacing his bedroom and smoking, the dead man, Mr. Blessington, had hanged himself."
A jaded cold case investigator finds himself trying to solve a thirty year old mystery when the skeletal remains of two missing teenagers are found in a national park.
