FINGERPRINTING

Hardback. 1st UK edn. The most famous art thief in history was identified by means of his fingerprints. At times the art of identification can be extraordinarily difficult and odd : a hand in the belly of a shark; a mummy 4yrs. in a cold warehouse; a charred French corpse; the two dismembered women of Lancaster - the police were able to use all of these people (or parts of people) as clues in solving baffling mysteries. Illus. 271pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in Nr. F. dw.
