Bodies We've Buried

Directors of the National Forensic Academy (NFA) and authors Jarrett Hallcox and Amy Welch offer an uncensored look at the unnerving realities of forensic investigation in "Bodies We've Buried: Inside the National Forensic Academy, the World's Top CSI Training School." Only the sharpest and most resourceful law enforcement officers attend the NFA's elaborate and horridly realistic mock crime scenes. From bloodstain pattern analysis to postmortem fingerprinting -- not to mention exhumations, wound-pattern interpretation, maggot migration and time since death research -- Hallcox and Welch describe in detail each technique the NFA covers in its 10-week training course. "Bodies We've Buried," from Berkley Publishing Group, is available at www.bodiesweveburied.com and bookstores nationwide.
