An interesting summary of 100 cases and how each one added to the use of certain forensic techniques (fingerprinting, ballistics, cause and time of death, explosives, etc) that over time we take for granted.

I enjoyed this book. Each chapter had a different scientific, such as ballistics, fingerprints, voiceprints, time of death etc. Under each of these headings were the cases that were solved using each one of these headings. I learned a lot about each of these and found the cases very interesting. If you are interested in these forensics you would enjoy this book
