I teach forensic science to high school students, so this subject matter is of great interest to me. It was very interesting to hear the background behind some of the “newest” techniques of the time. Newest is in quotations because some of these stories take place decades ago, and although they are not new now, they were groundbreaking at the time.. It is interesting to see the creative science that when into solving some of these problems. Some of it was years in the making. If you also have an interest in forensics, beyond the wrap-everything-up-in-an-hour type that you see on TV, take a chance on this book.
