Written by two of the leading experts in forensic science today, the book approaches the field from a truly unique and exciting perspective, giving readers a new understanding and appreciation for crime scenes as recent pieces of history, each with evidence that tells a story.

Compelling, actual cases are included at the start of each chapter to illustrate the principles being covered
Effective training, including end-of-chapter questions – paired with a clear writing style making this an invaluableresource for professors and students of forensic science
