Book Description

October 2, 2007
Most people who work as actual crime scene investigators will tell you two things: Television doesn't always show the truth...and science never lies. But how do DNA experts, trace analysts, medical examiners, forensic pathologists, and cold case detectives work together to produce evidence and solve a case--beyond the shadow of a doubt?
 
In this fascinating, true-life account, America's leading crime experts share their personal, unforgettable stories. From powder burn to fiber analysis, blood spatter to skeletal remains, New York Times bestselling author Connie Fletcher takes you into a world of crime-solving that's even grittier, more bizarre, and more shocking than any TV show. It's a thrilling ride into the dead center of a crime scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the same as: "Every Contact Leaves a Trace", August 27, 2008
By 
Chris James (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crime Scene: Inside the World of the Real CSIs (Mass Market Paperback)
A note to anyone that is a fan of Fletcher's books. This text is the same as another book: (published the same year in hardback version) "Every Contact Leaves a Trace: Crime Scene Experts Talk About Their Work From Discovery Through Verdict."
