Known as the American Sherlock Holmes, Edward Oscar Heinrich was one of America's greatest--and first--forensic scientists, with an uncanny knack for finding clues, establishing evidence, and deducing answers with a skill that seemed almost supernatural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeinrich was one of the nation's first expert witnesses, working in a time when the turmoil of Prohibition led to sensationalized crime reporting and only a small, systematic study of evidence. However with his brilliance, and commanding presence in both the courtroom and at crime scenes, Heinrich spearheaded the invention of a myriad of new forensic tools that police still use today, including blood spatter analysis, ballistics, lie-detector tests, and the use of fingerprints as courtroom evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis work, though not without its serious--some would say fatal--flaws, changed the course of American criminal investigation. Based on years of research and thousands of never-before-published primary source materials, American Sherlock captures the life of the man who pioneered the science our legal system now relies upon--as well as the limits of those techniques and the very human experts who wield them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect book for adults readers and fans of United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happier Every Chapter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44510704795814,"sku":"9780525539568","price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/2337\/6806\/products\/1m33oEziLzdwcbESJbDnQ0JzURxYn8iU4.jpg?v=1745165329"},{"product_id":"a-good-provider-is-one-who-leaves-one-family-and-migration-in-the-21st-century","title":"A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves: One Family and Migration in the 21st Century (Hardcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Good Provider Is One Who Leaves by Jason De Parle: One of The Washington Post 's 10 Best Books of the Year A remarkable book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. . indispensable. -- The Boston Globe A sweeping, deeply reported tale of international migration. . .
