Blurb: From the first fingerprint evidence in a murder trial in 1905 to recent advances in ?genetic fingerprinting?, the techniques of forensic science have helped police to solve some of the most shocking crimes in history. Journalist and author Roger Wilkes has brought together a fascinating collection of forensic detective work, with over 30 cases from as early as 1752 (the poisoning of an old man by his daughter was the first trial to feature medical evidence), to our own times. The cases featured include: Dr Sam Sheppard, the murder trial based on blood evidence that inspired the TV series The Fugitive?Lindy Chamberlain, the Australian mother who claimed her daughter had been taken by a dingo - the case hinged on blood and bite-marks?Emile Gourbin was convicted of murder when examination of his fingernails showed microscopic traces of his victim?s pink face powder?Edwin Bush, the first murderer in Britain to be brought to book thanks to an identikit picture, in 1961?Albert T Patrick, the Texan attorney tried for the murder of a millionaire businessman and convicted on handwriting evidence. These trials, mostly successful but sometimes dangerously flawed, give a remarkable insight into the development and huge potential of science-based detection.
