'Manhunt!' is the compelling story of the development of scientific techniques in he fight against crime - including offender profiling, ballistics, fingerprinting and interrogation. James Morton's trail through some of the infamous crimes and seminal cases of the twentieth century is as gripping as a detective thriller.

The book details the incredible scientific advances that have transformed the fight against crime. Using previously unpublished sources and interviews with world-class experts, Morton gives us an exclusive insight into terrible crimes solved using technology from the past two centuries.

From the unlikely story of Bertillon, the lowly French police clerk who invented the modern finger-printing system, to the breakthrough DNA criminal cases, Morton's story illuminates the key charismatic figures in the fight against crime. It also tracks the criminal mind and the ways in which detection is evaded, in cases such as OJ Simpson's (whose trial was marked by accusations of corruption) and the grisly crimes of Italian serial killer Bilancia.

A fascinating book on the fight against some of the most vicious criminal minds of the twentieth century and the men and women whose ingenuity brought them to justice.
