PROCLAIMED IN BLOOD True Crimes Solved By Forensic Scientists.

Hardback. An engrossing insight into a dozen real-life murder cases solved on the basis of forensic medical evidence. Although forensic procedure is teamwork, calling on the skills of a variety of professionals, the medico-legal investigation of death still begins on the autopsy table, where the findings of the forensic pathologist establish the line of enquiry. Whenever the police uncover crimes which leave them baffled -no clues, no suspects, no trails to follow - it is often forensic pathologists who come to the rescue. Gleaning evidence from wounds and weapons, from blood, saliva, semen and countless obscure sources, these dedicated men and women confront the sometimes horrible and taboo to build cases against criminals who believed they were safe.
