DESCRIPTION:
Whether explaining rigor mortis or the art of fingerprinting a stiff corpse on the side of the road, Dana Kollmann details her true, unvarnished experiences as a C.S.I. William Phelps, author of Murder in the Heartland Unlike the popular crime dramas proliferating on today's television networks, these forensic tales forgo glitz for grit to show what really goes on. "Informative, wittyKollmann delivers terse commentary and gory detail while puncturing common misconceptions about forensics." -Booklist Step past the flashing lights into the true scene of the crime
At another scene, a rotating ceiling fan flings down grisly bits of a suicide victim's head; at another, maggots are already devouring a body as Kollman tries to get photos. Thankfully, however, there's no lack of adventure: Kollman gets her title from a mishap she suffered while trying to get prints on a bitterly cold night, huffing on the fingers of an accident fatality. From Publishers Weekly Fans of CSI and Court TV, your book has arrived: a chronicle of the most unusual, macabre and malodorous experiences from 10-plus years of crime scene investigation.

Rotting bodies and Disgusting environments - not much else. Yes, curious adventures. I was a bit disappointed that there was really very little description of follow-through with the forensic process. The author seems to have focused on a detailed description of the most disgusting situations she was called to. If you enjoy reading about ro. Great read! Donna Quick A great book written with a great sense of humor, about things normal people wouldn't find funny. Who wants to be normal? Not me!. J. Smith said A completely honest look at what it's like at crime scenes. This was a fast read for me because of the subject. I was transfixed as each story was told. I only wish she'd recorded even more experiences. These tales will stay with me forever and I highly recommend this book.
