Author Description

What if the dead could speak. And science was their voice? In Cold Case Chemistry, forensic science steps out of the lab and into the heart of Britain's most haunting crimes. From the windswept moors of Yorkshire to the quiet suburbs of Gloucestershire, this gripping collection of true cases reveals how soil, blood, bone and fibre have exposed killers, exonerated the innocent and given names to the nameless. Each chapter uncovers a different forensic discipline, from facial reconstruction and isotope mapping to fibre analysis and digital forensics. But this is not just a book about science. It is a book about people. About victims whose stories were nearly lost. About families who waited decades for answers. About investigators who refused to give up. Written with clarity, compassion and a deep respect for the truth, Cold Case Chemistry is a journey into the silent evidence that surrounds us and the extraordinary minds that know how to read it. Justice may be delayed. But it is never mute.
