"Are you ready to do some detective work? In this book you'll crime-solve your way through some seriously puzzling made-up mysteries to explore the field of Forensic Science-the study of evidence to help solve crimes. You'll analyze stains on a computer keyboard, dust for fingerprints, examine bite marks, dig up evidence, and much, much more. Then you'll use what you've learned to ID the suspect. Think you have what it takes to crack the case?" -- Page 4 of cover.
