Dr. Henry C. Lee is considered by many to be the greatest forensic
scientist in the world. His vast investigative experience (over
6,000 cases!) and participation in many high-profile trials have
earned him not only the highest respect from the law enforcement
community but also widespread public recognition. Here Dr. Lee once
again gives avid fans of true crime an intimate glimpse into the
real world of crime investigation, combining his unparalleled
expertise with a clear and lively narrative. Beginning with the
infamous Scott Peterson trial, Dr. Lee vividly recounts his
investigation of the case, focusing on the crucial issue of
physical evidence. As a criminalist who examined the remains of
both Laci Peterson and Conner, he brings a distinctive perspective
and unique voice to the case. He also weighs in on the verdict.
Next, Dr. Lee considers the much-publicized abduction of Elizabeth
Smart from her family's Salt Lake City home. After a fruitless
ten-month search, Elizabeth was found alive in a Salt Lake City
suburb with Brian Mitchell and his wife, both of whom appeared to
be mentally unstable. Dr. Lee-who investigated this compelling
case-demonstrates the importance of physical evidence in
reconstructing this crime. He also describes the role of
brainwashing and outlines distinct similarities with the Patty
Hearst case. In the final three chapters, Dr. Lee examines the case
of a novelist accused of murdering his wife-who had also been the
suspected link to a similar death in Germany-where a woman also
fatally fell down a flight of stairs; the murder of a man's wife in
which both the husband and her lover are considered suspects (with
an outcome that is guaranteed to shock!); and the killing of a
witness of an accused arsonist shortly before his trial, with a
stunning conclusion that derived from Dr. Lee's intriguing
investigative work. In each case, Dr. Lee presents - in addition to
an engrossing narrative - the scientific details of how law
enforcement investigated the crime, using the most recent advances
in modern forensic tools. This is a fascinating insider's look by a
world-renowned expert into the pursuit of justice in some of the
most sensational and intriguing criminal cases of recent times.
