This book, a collection of extraordinary cases from history and the present day, explores the story of murder and science, from the forensic dark ages to the forensic detection of the twenty-first century. In 1752, a young woman named Mary Blandy put a mysterious white powder in her father’s food. At her trial for the murder of the old man, a doctor gave astonishing testimony: that he believed this powder was arsenic poison — and he had performed experiments to prove it. As Mary walked up the steps to the gallows, a new science was born: the science of forensic detection. Gathered here are extraordinary cases from history and the present day, from the first use of fingerprints in a murder trial to recent advances in genetics. Journalist and author Roger Wilkes gives a fascinating overview of famous cases covered by some of the best crime writers in history.
