Barnes-Svarney and Svarney cover the fundamentals, science, history, and analysis of clues to provide detailed information on crime scene investigations, techniques, laboratory finding, the latest research, and controversies. From the cause, manner, time of a death, and autopsies to blood, toxicology, DNA typing, fingerprints, ballistics, tool marks, tread impressions, and trace evidence, they take the reader through the many sides of a death investigation, arson, criminal profiling, and much, much more. -- adapted from Amazon.com info
