Crime Scene True-life Forensic Files

What really killed Napoleon? Did he die from an unknown illness or was he poisoned? Over 130 years after his death, researchers are looking into this mystery. Just a few strands of hair tell the story. The results may just surprise you. Crime Scene: Profilers and Poison looks at the real life jobs of crime profilers and toxicologists. It's fascinating and important work. Profilers are often used to understand how a particular criminal thinks so that he or she can be caught. They use their psychological and behavioral knowledge and combine that with the evidence to get a picture of this individual. Many infamous serial killers and mass murderers are caught this way. Like the other books in this series, Crime Scene: Profilers and Poison has all sorts of interesting real crime stories as well as information about potential careers as a crime scene analyst.
