Fantastic resource for crime writers, or, it should be said, the criminal element. All sorts of easy to understand and fun explanations of how to kill off characters, how to conceal bodies, about decay and forensics of all sorts. Written in a chatty question and answer format, I can't recommend this book highly enough, whether you kill people in fiction or you just want to talk about it at family dinner parties.

How long can someone survive in a cold, damp cave without food or water? How was diphtheria treated in 1886? Can Botox kill? Can DNA be found on a knife years later? How are mummified corpses identified? How long does it take blood to clot when spilled on a tile floor? What happens in death from electrocution? As a consultant to many novelists around the world and to the writers of such popular TV shows as Monk, Law & Order, House, and CSI: Miami, D. P. Lyle, M.D., has answered many cool, clever, and oddball questions over the years. Forensics and Fiction: Clever, Intriguing, and Downright Odd Questions from Crime Writers is a collection of the best of these questions. The answers are provided in a concise and entertaining fashion that will keep you wide awake so you can read "just one more." Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Among the topics discussed are Traumatic Injuries, Illnesses, Death, and Hospitals; Poisons, Toxins, Medications, and Drugs; The Police, the Crime Scene, and the Crime Lab; The Coroner, the Body, and the Autopsy; and Odds and Ends – Mostly Odds.
Presented in a straightforward question-and-answer format, some answers are simple; others are complex while others are downright peculiar. But readers who find themselves wondering about the basic forensics as they apply to victims, crime scenes, and investigations are sure to find much to appreciate in this fascinating book.
Highly recommended. ( )
