Hidden Evidence: Forty true crimes and how forensic science helped solve them

Even readers who already know something about forensic science are likely to learn from "Hidden Evidence" about historic cases that have been solved by science. Unfortunately, there are so few details provided in the book that the most interesting questions often remain unanswered. The book is full of pictures (I suspect that the illustrations were chosen before any narrative was written), and no references are provided. It might be of use to a student inspired by the TV program "Crime Scene Investigators" to consider a career in forensic chemistry.
