| | | Jim Donovan, head of the Forensic Science Laboratory in Ireland, is a leading figure in the fight against crime. Beginning with a history of forensics, this true crime tale explores how the most minute details—a strand of hair, a speck of skin—have helped to crack the toughest crimes. From notorious Irish cases, such as the dreadful murder of Mary Duffy, to baffling international crimes, including the Lindbergh kidnapping and the Romanovs, Donovan offers an insider’s view on how modern science has moved detective work from Sherlock Holmesian deduction to the hard facts of DNA fingerprinting. Also discussed is Donovan's nearly fatal encounter with Martin Cahill, Ireland's most infamous criminal and the subject of the recent film The General.
