About this title

Synopsis

Synopsis Do you know how many DNA matches are needed to identify a perpetrator? How can the discovery of a tiny carpet fiber bring police hammering on a suspect's door? All you'll ever need to know about what quicklime really does to a body, what makes a lip print match, a bullet cartridge case like gold, a poison so deadly, is right here in this stats and facts fueled catalogue of the greatest advances in forensic history. Look into the laboratories, delve into the morgues-the answers are all here, the keys to unlocking some of the world's most infamous criminal acts and the people who have played their parts in creating the detection treasure that is forensic science. As Sir Andrew Maclagan, British Professor of Medicine at Edinburgh University said in 1878, "A dead body tells no tales except those it whispers to the quick ear of the scientific expert, by him to be reported to the proper quarter."

Store Description

We are a generalist bookseller who has been selling online since 2003. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best books at the best prices. As a used and antiquarian seller all of our copies are unique and our stock is limited by our ability to source new material from a variety of venues. We strive to describe our books as accurately as possible and have embarked on a policy of adding at least one photograph for each new listing added. Older entries in our database may not include a picture, if this is so please request one and we will gladly send it to you via email.
