About This Book
THIRTEEN INVESTIGATIONS INTO MEANS, MOTIVE, AND OPPORTUNITY THAT TOGETHER PROVE THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES CAN TRIP UP EVEN THE MOST MASTERMINDED CRIMINAL..
Mystery readers know that the scientific advancements of recent years have enabled law enforcement officers to close a case quicker, ensuring prosecutors achieve a guilty verdict. DNA, fingerprints, even something as simple as a carpet fiber can help indict the criminal, proving that science … and often the victim's body itself … can tell us the truth.
If most crimes are a result of some overwhelming emotion … anger, jealousy, vengeance, greed … then the scientific method functions as a necessary balance to give an investigator the complete picture. New York Times bestselling author Dan Stabenow has collected here, for the first time, the best of the genre's authors … including acclaimed novelists, screenwriters, national bestsellers, and recipients of mystery and crime writers' organizations' highest awards … all intent On illuminating the turning point in a case. These "scenes" capture all of the elements and characters needed to solve a crime and give closure to a victim's family.
So lift the crime-scene tape and step into a world populated with crimes and settings as varied and unique as your fingerprints.
