“A compelling account of Ruben Miller's years working as a forensic scientist, visiting crime scenes and gathering evidence. His detailed descriptions of what he sees are often heart-breaking. The behaviour of the people he meets - lawyers, police, the media and even the occasional suspect - is always fascinating and occasionally hilarious. Insights into the techniques of forensic science give a fascinating view of what it can and can't do versus what the public, and even legal experts, expect.

With unflinching honesty and flashes of dark humour, Ruben takes readers beyond the police tape to the questions that hang in the air and the small details that change everything.

Part true-crime and part memoir - this is what it really takes to face the darkest scenes, and still walk away.”

“Science shows us what happened. Story tells us why it matters.”
