Of all crimes, murder fascinates the public more than any other.
While considered a detestable act, for which society reserves its
severest punishments, homicide still captivates the American
public. But the way homicide and its investigation are depicted in
our media fail to capture just how murders get solved. Here, Snow
takes us on a tour of murder, its investigation, and its
prosecution from the perspective of a seasoned homicide detective.
From the commission of the crime to the collection of evidence,
examination of the crime scene, roundup of suspects, interrogation,
and resolution, he leads readers from the scene to the courtroom,
stopping along the way to consider all the elements that go into a
murder investigation. He considers the culprits, the motives, the
victims and their families, and offers readers a glimpse into the
actual techniques and methods used to solve real crimes. This
volume will fascinate and inform anyone interested in knowing the
truth behind the scene of the crime of murder. Through the use of
real-life cases of actual murders, Snow captures the intricacies of
solving murders of all sorts. From domestic or intimate partner
murders to cold cases and sexually based murders, police must
approach homicide cases very carefully so that successful
prosecution can eventually take place. Snow shows that there is
much that can be learned from the crime scene, the body, the
evidence, and the witnesses in terms of identifying suspects and
motives for murder. He considers all aspects of the murder case and
illustrates how careful police work can lead to the capture of the
right suspect in any type of homicide. In addition, he looks at the
victims themselves and theaftermath of their murders for their
families and friends, who must cope with the violent loss of their
loved ones. What emerges from these pages is a truer picture of the
investigation of this most violent crime.
