Howdunit Forensics: A Guide for Writers

Howdunit Forensics: A Guide for Writers
â€œWhat you will discover is that the real world of forensics is, perhaps, even more compelling than what we are seeing on television every week.â€ â€”Lee Goldberg, TV writer-producer
Â
InÂ Forensics, award-winning author and TV show consultant D.P. Lyle, M.D., takes each area of forensicsâ€”from fingerprint analysis to crime scene reconstructionâ€”and discusses its development, how the science works, how it helps in crime solving, and how you as a writer might use this technique in crafting your plot. This comprehensive reference guide includes:
Â
- Real-life case files and the role forensic evidence plays in solving the crimes
Â
- A breakdown of the forensics system from its history and organization to standard evidence classification and collection methods
Â
- Detailed information on what a dead body can revealâ€”including the cause, mechanism, and manner of death
Â
- The actual steps taken to preserve a crime scene and the evidence that can be gathered there, such as bloodstains, documents, fingerprints, tire impressions, and more
Â
ForensicsÂ is the ultimate resource for learning how to accurately imbue your stories with authentic details of untimely demises.
Â
â€œI am findingÂ Howdunit ForensicsÂ to be valuable, not just for checking the facts against what I have already written, but as a vast storehouse of ideas for my own writing that I never could have dreamed up with just a laymanâ€™s knowledge of the field.â€ â€”Writing As I Go
