Since Postmortem garnered critical acclaim and a record-breaking five awards for a first crime novel, the Scarpetta novels have often been imitated, but never bettered. Against her own judgement and the advice of Benton Wesley and her niece, Lucy, Scarpetta agrees to return to Virginia as a consultant pathologist on a case involving the death of a fourteen-year-old girl. Accompanied by Pete Marino she finds the once familiar territory of her morgue and her department much changed, and the new Chief Medical Examiner treats her with disdain despite the obvious fact that he is in desperate need of her expertise.But professional as ever, she re-examines the evidence and proves the girl was murdered. She also finds trace evidence which matches that found on an accident victim and at the scene where one of Lucy s operatives was attacked. It is not only a forensic puzzle, but opens up the probability that someone is after those closest to Scarpetta.

Covers new trace evidence techniques and expanding areas of analysis, along with key theory and applications Developed around the need for updated information in the disciplines of trace evidence the Handbook of Trace Evidence Analysis focuses on the increasing awareness and need for validation, modern methods for addressing and controlling contamination, the shift towards incorporating statistical analyses into the interpretation phase and cutting edge research into new forensic science methods and their application. Beginning with an overview of the topic and discussing the important role that information derived from trace materials can provide during investigations, the book then presents chapters on key techniques. The first being the critical nature of microscopy, and the methods employed for the recognition, collection, and preservation of trace evidence. Subsequent chapters review the core disciplines of trace evidence examination: paints and polymers, hairs, fibers and textiles and glass. Each chapter contains in-depth discussions on the origin of the materials involved, including any natural or synthetic processes involved in their production, the nuances involved in their detection, and the methods of analysis that are used to extract valuable information from samples. In addition, suggested workflows in method and testing selections, as well as addressing specific scientific challenges as well as the limitations of knowledge on the transfer, persistence and background abundance of trace materials are discussed. The book ends by examining the interpretation of trace evidence findings from a historical perspective and examining the methods that are currently being developed. Provides an in-depth introduction to the general area of trace evidence and discusses current and new techniquesConsolidates trace evidence and materials categories of testing into one reference seriesOffers a detailed focus on technical approaches and guidelines to trace evidenceIncludes analytical schemes/workflows and valuable guides for the interpretation of data and results The Handbook of Trace Evidence will appeal to forensic science academics, students, and practitioners in the trace evidence and materials science disciplines, as well as DNA analysts, toxicologists, forensic anthropologists, crime laboratory managers, criminal justice students and practitioners, and legal professionals.

On Tuesday morning, 23rd September 1975, the corpses of three unmarried siblings, last surviving members of the ancient Luxton clan of Winkleigh, North Devon, were found on their remote farm. All three had had their heads blown off. Robbie s cheeks and neck had been stabbed; Frances had a broken leg. Strangely, each of the four doors to the house had been locked from the inside.The Luxtons idyllic farm on a stretch of lush countryside between Exmoor and Dartmoor had been lovingly tended with outdated methods. There were rumours of a thwarted betrothal, wrangles over money and property, generational feuds in the extended family, bouts of insanity and extreme miserliness.John Cornwell s classic investigation into the violent deaths of these unhappy siblings told a story of a farming family struggling under unbearable practical and emotional pressures, their violent deaths, the police investigation and the proceedings of the inquest. The official verdict was that there had been a suicide pact, but Cornwell decided to revisit the evidence forty years after Earth to Earth was first published, and he finds that there were anomalies in the evidence suggesting alternative, criminal scenarios, and the misery that preceded these savage deaths suggested even darker elements.Were the Luxtons scapegoats of local malice, or victims of a murderous family conflict, stricken by a dire ancestral curse?This new edition of a true crime classic includes a postscript in which the author describes the extraordinary lengths that the great poet Ted Hughes, a neighbour of the Luxtons, went to try and suppress publication of the book.

Audiokniha: Nevěří v Boha ani svého krále, přesto na něm závisí osud křesťanského království… Mladý northumbrijský velmož Uhtred z Bebbanburgu pomohl Sasům zvítězit nad vikinskými nájezdníky v bitvě u Cynuitu, během níž vlastnoručně připravil o život obávaného válečníka Ubbu Lothbroksona. Nyní však západosaské království Wessex čelí novému přílivu krvelačných Dánů, který zažene krále Alfreda a jeho věrné až do nepřístupných bažin, kde jsou nuceni skrývat se před nepřáteli jako nějací psanci. Zbožný panovník usilující o sjednocení Anglie, jemuž historie dala přídomek Veliký, se však nevzdává a pomalu shromažďuje vojsko, s nímž chce pohanské vetřelce vyhnat ze své země. Uhtred hraje v jeho plánech klíčovou roli, jejich vztah ovšem není zrovna ideální – horkokrevný mladý válečník totiž chová více sympatií k divokým Seveřanům než ke svému králi, který spíše než středověkého rytíře připomíná křesťanského světce. Jemu však přísahal věrnost a také by jednou rád získal zpět své panství, k čemuž by mu mohl dopomoci právě Alfred. Tedy pokud nad dánskou přesilou dokáže s Boží pomocí zvítězit… Pokračování dobrodružné ságy z raně středověké Anglie, která se stala předlohou úspěšného seriálu Poslední království. „Meče, štíty, bahno a krev. V rukou mistra skvělé rekvizity.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Tak důmyslně a energicky odvyprávěné historické příběhy, jaké píše Cornwell, jsou nedostatkovým zbožím.“ – Bill Sheehan, The Washington Post.

Audiokniha: „Vedl mě osud. Psal se rok osmistý sedmdesátý osmý, bylo mi jednadvacet let a věřil jsem, že jsem schopen dosáhnout svým mečem všeho na světě…“ Po vítězství v bitvě u Ethandunu má Uhtred z Bebbanburgu věru co slavit: šiky nepřátelských nájezdníků byly rozprášeny a Alfredovo království Wessex přežilo z nemalé části právě jeho přičiněním. Srdnatý mladík však nezapomíná na křivdy, které mu kdysi způsobil zlovolný strýc Ælfric, a míří proto do Northumbrie, aby se pomstil za útrapy v útlém dětství. Jenže býčí odhodlání ani rytířská horkokrevnost nebudou bijci nic platné, poleví-li v ostražitosti. Ironií osudu namísto na bebbanburský trůn usedá k veslu otrokářského plavidla, z nějž očividně nelze uniknout jinak než coby mrtvola hozená přes palubu. Uhtred si však umanul v plánu vytrvat a pátrá, kde nechal tesař díru. A poštěstí se mu. Schyluje se totiž k další řeži, která může rozhodnout o osudu Anglie – a u té on rozhodně nehodlá chybět… Třetí díl dobrodružné ságy z raně středověké Anglie, která se stala předlohou úspěšného televizního seriálu Poslední království. „Cornwell opět potvrzuje, že historické fikci kraluje. Předkládá příběh plný krvežíznivého válčení a neméně sveřepé cti, okořeněný v pravou chvíli trefným humorem.“ – Library Journal. „Nádherně zpracovaný příběh doplněný výtečně vykreslenými bitevními scénami je natolik poutavý, že se čtenář jen málokdy zastaví, aby popadl dech. V časech, které zobrazuje, by byl jeho tvůrce nejžádanějším bavičem Alfredova dvora.“ – Daily Mail. „Vskutku mimořádné vyprávění se zakládá na velmi podrobném průzkumu mentality anglosaské éry. – Observer. „Autor vytahuje na světlo přízraky historie devátého století a obaluje jejich kostry novým, živým masem. Díky němu je svět krále Alfreda znovu obnoven, dokonale podložen a s vášní mistra vypravěče také barvitě vykreslen.“ – Justin Pollard, autor knihy Alfréd Veliký.

;Ring of Salt is so vast and tender and urgent, it s almost like reading a novel. I couldn t put it down. I haven t cheered for a heroine like Betsy in ages. Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of Awake Maid meets Under the Tuscan Sun in this inspiring and lyrical memoir about a writer and mother who flees an abusive marriage and must learn to reclaim the story of her life through a search for home on Ireland s wild, western coast.At twenty-four, Betsy Cornwell runs away to Ireland for a fresh start. Leaving behind a painful past, she chases her dream of becoming a novelist to the misty shores of the Aran Islands. There she meets a handsome and charming horse trainer, and her life takes on the glow of a fairy tale when they elope to Gretna Green. Five years later, her happy ending has twisted into a nightmare. Betsy is trapped in an abusive marriage, isolated and afraid with a newborn baby. On her son s first birthday, she must flee home again, this time turning to the women around herher local survivor support group, a trusted family friend, and an online Smith College alumnae networkfor help she d never known she could ask for. After a brush with homelessness, she struggles to scrape together a living for herself and her son. On sleepless nights, she scrolls through real estate listings that might as well be castles in the air, and starts to foster an impossible dream: What if she could use her writing to buy a home, one that no one could take away from her and her baby? One that might become a haven, not just for her family, but other single parent artists and writers, too? When she discovers a historic knitting factory and former cinema on Ireland s rugged Connemara coastline, left empty and crumbling for years, that precarious dream becomes her lifeline. Over the next two years she works to crowdfund the old knitting factory s purchase by sharing its story and her own, in candid posts that range from the unexpectedly steep learning curves she encounters with home renovations and internet dating, to her heartbreaking fight to keep custody of her son, with her growing online community. But as the deadline to buy nears, she realizes she will have to reckon with everything she believes about family, survival, and what happily-ever-after truly means for her dream to have any chance of coming true. Ring of Salt combines a powerful and relatable narrative of survivorship and healing with lush writing about the windswept landscapes and rich mythology of rural Ireland to craft a real-world fairy tale about the ordinary, but no less life-changing, forms of magic we can all access: vulnerability, community, and the power of telling your own story.

AS SEEN IN THE SUNDAY TIMES, THE UK #39;S NO.1 FORENSIC ECOLOGIST LOOKS AT HER MOST HIGH-PROFILE AND INTERESTING CASES... #39;I love puzzles, and finding answers is the only truly enjoyable part of what I do. #39; Professor Patricia Wiltshire is a forensic ecologist, her days spent at crime scenes collecting samples, standing over dead bodies in a mortuary, or looking down her microscope for evidence.Working at the interface of where the criminal and natural world interact, Patricia has been involved in some of the most high-profile murder cases. Now, through a study of her most infamous, and fascinating cases - including the murder of Sarah Payne, and the Soham murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman - Patricia will show us how she finds the answers to some of the worst crimes imaginable. Not only does she help the police solve crimes and give answers to the most bemusing circumstances, she can help to exonerate the innocent and enable confessions from the guilty.In The Natural History of Crime we join Patricia in putting the puzzle together, teasing the evidence out of her cases and showing us all how life and death have always been, and always will be, intertwined. Nature has given us a messy, imperfect world, but her job is to help make sense of it when we need it to most.Praise for Patricia Wiltshire #39;s memoir, Traces: Astonishing... absolutely fascinating. - Lynda La Plante #39;It #39;s truly forensically fascinating (even for someone in the field!) while also being emotionally honest and challenging at times. Pat is really to be congratulated for an excellent and engrossing book. - Dr Richard Shepherd, author of Unnatural Causes.
