About the Book

Discover the surprising answers in The Casebook of Forensic Detection, a true-crime treasury of 100 of the most fascinating cases of all time. More than two centuries in the development of modern forensic procedures come to vivid life as everything from handwriting analyses and voiceprints to ballistics, DNA testing, and psychological profiles reveal whodunit (and, in some startling cases, who didn't do it).

First Sentence

Strictly speaking, balistics is the science that deals with the motion of projectiles and the conditions affecting that motion, but in criminal investigation it has come to mean specifically the study of firearms and bullets.
