Bodies of Evidence is packed with intriguing case histories involving an astonishing variety of forensic evidence, and includes various case histories from around the world, including O.J. Simpson, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, ‘The Mad Bomber’ George Metesky, Tommie Lee Andrews, ‘The Night Stalker’ Richard Ramirez, Jack Unterweger, Lee Harvey Oswald, ‘The Boston Strangler’ Albert DeSalvo, Jeffrey MacDonald, the Lockerbie bombing, ‘The Unabomber’ Theodore Kaczynski, and many more.

The text is illustrated throughout with 200 colour and black and white photographs, some of which have rarely been seen before.
