Reviews
...an excellent collection of trace evidence cases that has a truly broad appeal...resplendent with many excellent photographs, charts, diagrams, and references that are good supplements and make complex concepts easily understandable.JOURNAL OF FORENSIC IDENTIFICATIONActual case histories emphasize the recovery and analysis of diverse items such as fibers, paint, glass, plastics, and feathers...each chapter also details applicable analytical methodology and sampling methods, and deals with interpretation and significance issues...an invaluable reference source for practicing forensic scientists...The book is carefully styled and crafted so that it will appeal to both technical expert and layperson.-Richard Saferstein, for CHOICE, January 2002This is one of the best forensic science related books I've ever read. One might think that trace evidence is not the most exciting subject, but once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down.The book is edited by Max Houck (formerly of the FBI lab), and the author's are all among the top names in the trace evidence field. Just reading the introduction to this book gives the reader a valuable lesson in the history of forensic science, the importance of trace evidence, it's recovery and evaluation. It's almost worth it's cover price for the introduction alone. In conclusion if you are involved in, or interested in forensic science you should get a copy of this book. - Daryl W.

Synopsis
Trace evidence - paint, fibres, hair, glass, soil, etc - is a vital part of every forensic science investigation. It can corroborate witnesses' stories, provide leads and change the course of investigation. This text presents case studies from experts in the field of trace evidence. Each chapter presents the facts of the case, the progress of the investigation and how trace evidence assisted, and highlights some important aspect of trace evidence as a teaching module.
