Beating the devil's game : a history of forensic science and criminal investigation

Today, the basic scientific precepts of criminal investigation are widely known among professionals and lay-people alike. But behind each of these now commonplace concepts is a hand-in-hand evolution of science and law, spearheaded by innovative thinkers, many of whom risked their careers and reputations for the sake of more perfect justice. In Beating the Devil's Game, Katherine Ramsland traces that development from thirteenth-century Chinese studies of decomposition rates through the marvels of the present day and beyond.
