"I was into forensic science years before CSI - so bite me.
There is a current glut of books on the market to sate the appetite of dilettants who have no comprehension that DNA checks can take weeks and sometimes months to process, but that's okay with me - I've been interested in this stuff for years and wasn't able to read much about it til recently.
This one's pretty by-the-numbers, but I'm not much of a scientist."
