      At a time when CSI crime shows are all the rage on television, this book provides a true, firsthand account of what really goes on in crime scene investigations. Hallcox and Welch ("Bodies We've Buried") are the former directors of the world's only hands-on crime scene instruction program at the National Forensic Academy. They take the reader on a whirlwind trip with various crime scene investigators throughout the United States, including the real Texas Rangers, the New Jersey Sheriff's Office, and the New York Police Department. One sees how important the work is that the CSI does, and how the quality of the work done at a crime scene directly impacts the strength of a case. The authors are affable and quite matter-of-fact whether they're having dinner with one of their interviewees or describing the discovery of a body under a tree in the woods. Suitable for larger public libraries and academic libraries supporting forensic science programs.Krista Bush, Univ. of New Haven Lib., West Haven, CT
