Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Razor-sharp and mesmerizingly eerie--with one of the most clever and ruthless villains to appear in ages--Still Waters is a stunning start to an exciting new crime series. DCI Mark Lapslie is called in when the decayed body of an elderly woman is unearthed. The body provides few clues, beyond the fact that the murderer had a deadly knowledge of household plants. The dearth of evidence is not Lapslie's only problem. He's just returned to the force after a year trying to overcome the worst symptoms of his synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes him to taste sound. The murder appears to be the work of a serial killer who could strike again at any moment, so Lapslie has to find a way to make his synasethsia work for him, not against him. Otherwise the next life taken could be his own.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The corpses of Mark James and Frances Purves are found, with upside down crosses carved onto the bodies. Forensic pathologist, Samantha Ryan, assists the police into what appears to have been ritual killings. The preliminary evidence points towards nightclub owner, Bird, a dabbler in witchcraft, for Bird's fingerprints are found inside the car of one of the victims and the cord from the doorbell to his club is the murder weapon.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A visceral thriller from the creator of the hit BBC drama Silent Witness, introducing synaesthetic detective DCI Mark Lapslie.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A crime scene. A murder. A mystery. The most important person on the scene? The forensic scientist. And yet the intricate details of criminal forensics work remain a mystery to most of us. In a book that is by turns fascinating and chilling, Nigel McCrery leads readers around the world and through two centuries to relate the history of forensics in accessible and entertaining prose. He introduces such colorful characters as Dr. Edmond Locard, the "French Sherlock Holmes"; and Edward Heinrich, the "Wizard of Berkeley," who is credited with having solved over 2,000 crimes. All the major areas of forensics, including ballistics, fiber analysis, and genetic fingerprinting, are explained with reference to the landmark cases in which they proved their worth, allowing readers to solve the crimes along with the experts. Whether detailing the identification of a severed head preserved in gin, the first murder solved because of a fingerprint, or the first time DNA evidence was used to bring a sadistic killer to justice, Silent Witnesses provides dramatic practical demonstrations of scientific principles and demonstrates a truth known by all forensic scientists: people still have a story to tell long after they are dead.…
