Book SynopsisTrade Review★ “Sherlock Holmes lovers, CSI: Miami aficionados, and forensic science students will all be drawn to this rather gruesome yet highly entertaining and fact-packed history.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “Punctuated by fascinating photos, a smattering of educational asides, and astute pop-culture references (Dexter, Les Misérables, The Silence of the Lambs), and followed by a glossary of key terms, this is sure to appeal to wannabe FBI agents, budding history buffs, “armchair detectives,” and everyone in between.” — Booklist “Vivid and occasionally gruesome but always engrossing.” — Kirkus Reviews “Heos’s conversational text is forthright with the (sometimes disturbing) facts, but never sensationalized—keeping the focus squarely on the fascinating science.” — Horn Book Magazine “For teens who haven’t ventured much beyond CSI, this will prove a solid and entertaining introduction to a compelling subject.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “A fascinating account of the history of forensic investigation from ancient times to the modern age, this easy-to-read, concise volume is by turns horrifying, amusing, and enlightening.
