Case Files: 40 Murders and Mysteries Solved by Science

Who is the murderer?
Whose body is it?
How can it be proved?

A killer had been caught, convicted and sentenced, the case closed, all in 114 days. No one suspected — least of all the boy on death row — that the case was far from over, or that it would take almost 50 years for a tiny piece of scientific evidence to answer the question: Was he really the murderer?

40 amazing stories of how scientists solved crimes, revealed identities, untangled evidence and discovered the truth.

By Larry Verstraete, award-winning author of At the Edge: Daring Acts in Desperate Times, Survivors: True Death-Defying Escapes, Lost Treasures and Accidental Discoveries.
