Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This book yields two surprises that have nothing to do with what made its author so notorious, but which have plenty to do with how public bureaucracies fail. First, it includes Furhman's contemporaneous crime scene notes (with observations as meticulous as any TV sleuth's), which make mention of a "visible fingerprint" Furhman saw on the Bundy back gate (and discussed with his partner at the time). Second, it reveals that Lange and Vannatter, the detectives from "downtown" who took over the case from Furhman, didn't check out the print that night or subsequently, and indeed never read Fuhrman's notes at all. That's why you didn't hear about the fingerprint during the criminal trial. (When authorities returned to sample blood from the back gate two weeks later, the print was gone.) In short, the main lesson of this book is an organizational one worth remembering: it doesn't matter if the grunts do a good job, if the big-shots don't follow up. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
The New York Times Book Review, Craig Wolff
Some will be troubled that the flawed Mr. Fuhrman is finding renewal in his book. But at least he is providing a badly needed, if one-sided retrospective on how his role unfolded. It is not necessary to absolve him to know that something was lost when Mr. Fuhrman fell out of the case --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
