A hunting rifle, a kitchen knife, a samurai sword, strangulation, poisoning - each of these methods of murder leaves unique traces on the victim’s body that need to be identified by a forensic expert. In this book, you will witness crime scenes, conduct forensic examinations, attend investigative experiments, and attend jury trials. Its author, Michel Sapane, is an extraordinary forensic expert who has already seen a lot in his 30 years of work. He describes each case with elegant black humor, immersing the reader in routine adventures for a forensic scientist. The main principle that guides Sapane is that curiosity must be satisfied. And almost every case mentioned in the book finds its logical conclusion in the courtroom.
