One of the nation's top forensic scientists, Larry Ragle has investigated countless brutal and baffling crimes during his forty-year career.

For me this one was a little slow in parts but it was still very interesting being taken behind the scenes of crime solving.

Good reference if you enjoy forensic investigation. A little dry at times but not too bad.
