Summary

This volume charts the grisly history of crime and focuses on the technological developments that brought real justice just a little closer. Today, we take forensic science with all its brilliance for granted. This book highlights how it all began. The Ripper case is a shining example of the fact that it does not matter how many forensic advances are made, a killer in the shadows can sometimes outwit the police and science for over 135 years - and counting.
