Brian Heard, a well-respected forensic scientist, presents his life long experiences with the serious & provocative subject of forensics in a skillful and insightful manner.

His natural storyteller manner combines with his encyclopedic knowledge of the forensic profession to create a benchmark book. I'd highly recommend this to be read by everyone. Criminal investigators, future forensic scientists and attorneys in particular will find it as useful as it is entertaining and the general public will be enthralled. A must read for anyone interested in crime scene investigation.

If you want true crime this has it all. An easily readable account of a Forensic Scientists examination of over 200 cases ranging from the Krays and the Richardsons to the worlds most violent Triad gangs. This man has lead a truely remarkable life and has put it down in a form which is easy to read, entertaining yet full of the most greusome details imaginable. At the end all I wanted was more and I really hope that there is a follow up in the piupeline.
