From Baskerville Hall to the Valley of Fear, The Real Forensics Behind the Great Detective's Greatest Cases.
This unique book uses the legendary adventures of Sherlock Holmes as a jumping-off point to discuss the growth of forensic science during the Victorian era. EJ Wagner explores the emergence of science from superstition, how forensic autopsies evolved from anatomical dissection, the huge advances in blood chemistry and poison detection, and the early use of fingerprintes, photography and trace evidence.
