More About the Author

April 18, 2012. I was horrified to learn that the original e-book version of The Scent of Fear contained some significant formatting issues with some Kindle devices. I have corrected these problems. Please accept my sincere apology for this oversight.

An internationally recognized forensic scientist, he has a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and a Master's degree in Entomology. He has served as the president of the Association for Crime Scene Reconstruction, Rocky Mountain Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts, and the Rocky Mountain Division of the International Association for Identification.
