Forensics by Val McDermid
The Anatomy of Crime
An accessible tour of modern forensic science traces how investigators reconstruct crimes from the tiniest traces, blending history, case studies, and interviews with practitioners. It explains disciplines from entomology and pathology to toxicology, fingerprints, fire analysis, and DNA, showing how evidence is gathered, interpreted, and presented in court. Along the way it punctures TV myths, highlights ethical dilemmas and errors, and reveals both the power and the limits of these techniques. The result is a clear-eyed, humane portrait of the painstaking work that turns clues into justice.
