Pasperback. A killer was caught when nylon carpet fibres found on a victim's clothing led police directly to his car. The fragments of a franking impression on a letter bomb identified where it had been posted, and were part of the evidence used to convict the sender. Teeth marks in a half-eaten apple revealed the physical description of a terrorist - including his height and facial appearance. Examination of maggots enabled a forensic scientist to pinpoint the date when a man and woman died. The result was correct, even though it contradicted telephone records and eye-witness reports. These and other cases illustrate the work of forensic scientists, the men and women whose analysis of blood and semen, hairs and fibres, weapons and wounds - even the tiniest specks of dust - can lead to the arrest and conviction of criminals. A riveting insight into a world where even the outrageous and horrible are no obstacle to a search for truth in the service of justice. Illus. 184pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
