How was the killer found? Every body leaves a trace

Nature remembers all events that occur in its domain. Unbeknownst to them, people constantly interact with it: dust, plant seeds, fungi, soil, and various microscopic forms of life are part of our daily environment, quiet and not always noticeable.

In the remarkable book by Patricia Wiltshire, this silent world beneath our feet and floating in the air not only speaks but becomes a full participant in investigations and a reliable assistant in solving intricate crimes.

PATRICIA WILTSHIRE — professor, forensic ecologist, botanist, palynologist, environmental archaeologist, leading expert in forensic science; has collaborated with police departments in the UK on the most high-profile crimes of the last 25 years.

“An engaging, emotional, honest, and criminally captivating narrative.” — RICHARD SHEPHERD, leading forensic expert in the UK, author of the book “ unnatural Causes: Notes from a Forensic Pathologist: High-profile Murders, Horrific Terrorism, and Complex Cases”
