Title 4 in the exciting new series of 8-12 year olds that uses real forensics to solve fictional mysteries.
Josh Jamieson, Hannah's rock star idol, is in town. But as Zac and Hannah emerge from his packed concert, they discover that there's been an explosion at the Central Bank next door. And ten million dollars is missing!
Two child detectives (11-year-old Zac and Hannah) lead the reader through the clues and help them piece together all the forensic science methods used, such as DNA fingerprint plotting; tracking where your money goes, and where it has been, using the Money Tracker website; explosive residue analysis; following footprints (even toe prints) to calculate the weight, height and gender of a suspect; acoustic analysis of a rock song; forensic odontology (the examination of evidence left by teeth); using ultraviolet and infrared radiation to read burnt documents; and QEMSCAN – a scanning electron microscope that is used to analyse ancient treasures.
Each chapter will present a new piece of the mystery and accompanying forensic clues, which are explained in more detail in breakout boxes.
