Mop Men: Inside the World of Crime Scene Cleaners (Hardcover)

CSI — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:47:53 +0000

From Publishers Weekly

Who cleans up when a killer leaves a really big bloody mess? In a chatty, tongue-in-cheek profile of Neal Smither, chief of Crime Scene Cleaners Inc., journalist Emmins lets the Boss Cleaner speak passionately of how he tackles spills and splotches resulting from the San Francisco Bay area’s murders, suicides and other deaths. Emmins delves into the zany character of Smither, a loving family man who puts on a coarsely humorous persona as protective armor as he surrounds himself with the dark realm of death, monitoring his multimillion-dollar business in a highly competitive field. Hanging around with Smither means a grisly experience of suicide surrounded by transgender porn, bodies splattered by gunfire or the decayed corpses of those ruined by meth or contagious disease. For a totally gonzo way of looking at the crime scene cleaning business, try this engrossing, wisecracking assessment (of Smither, Emmins writes, [I]f not actually one of Death’s litter, he must be at barest minimum a cousin) of a world we know exists but ignore as we go on about our lives. (Jan.)

CSI — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:12:52 +0000

Review

“…well organized, sprinkled with interesting analogies and written in inviting, understandable language.” — American Scientist, Nanoviews, Vol. 96, July/August 2008.

Product Description

Chemists and science authors Cathy Cobb and Monty L. Fetterolf have teamed up with Jack G. Goldsmith, fellow chemist and reserve police officer, to create another intriguing trek through the science of chemistry, this time using the fascinating field of forensic chemistry as their framework. All new hands-on demonstrations and fictional minute mysteries illustrate chemical concepts as the authors present the science–and the realities–of forensic chemistry in a narrative style that makes this timely topic accessible to the nonchemist. The authors lead you through actual and simulated forensic techniques such as · presumptive and confirmative drug testing · body fluid identification including luminol testing · DNA analysis · trace fiber and gun shot residue analysis · latent fingerprint development and collection · forensic soil analysis Through more than twenty-five demonstrations, using ordinary household products and items, you can become familiar with the basics of forensic chemistry and gain insights into the painstaking work that goes into criminal investigations that is rarely seen on TV.

If you’re a fan of true-crime stories or mystery fiction, or interested in the science behind dramas like CSI, this informative and entertaining book is a must-have addition to your library.

Review

“Is there anyone left in Britain watching this cracking US import? Surely not because you’ve all gone off to Las Vegas to become crime scene investigators!” Radio Times

Product Description

Meet the little known and even less understood heroes of police work in Las Vegas — the forensic investigators. Led by veteran Gil Grissom, the remarkable team assigned to the Criminalistics Bureau’s graveyard shift — including Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Nick Stokes, and Sara Sidle — must combine cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned savvy as they work to untangle the evidence behind the yellow police tape. While Nick and Catherine investigate a newly discovered fifteen-year-old murder, Grissom and the rest of the team must uncover the indentity of a cold-blooded killer — one whose execution-style, “double-tap” signature has provoked the interest of FBI agent Rick Culpepper.

True Stories of CSI: The Real Crimes Behind the Best Episodes of the Popular TV Show (Paperback)

CSI — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:14:29 +0000

From Publishers Weekly

For those unfamiliar with the crime-scene forensics television drama C.S.I., be forewarned: there will be blood, gore and dismembered body parts. Prolific author (of both novels and non-fiction) and forensic specialist Ramsland digs up the real life corollaries to 25 popular episodes, some obviously drawn from a single source (“Gentle, Gentle,” based on the 1996 murder of 6-year-old Jon-Benet Ramsey), others composed from disparate incidents (“Blood Drops,” drawing from the 2002 Flores Family murders in California, Charles Manson’s horrific 1969 murder spree and Jeffrey MacDonald’s 1970 family slaughter). Not all episodes lead to true crime; perhaps disappointingly, the series’ popular “miniatures killer” storylines were not based on cases, but on crime scene dollhouses built in the 1940s as a teaching aid by philanthropist Frances Glessner Lee. Gore and devastation is handled in a responsibly clinical tone, but Ramsland can overstep when speculating without scientific backup or attribution (stating, for instance, that the admiration female sex offenders receive from their young partners is “probably the source of the addiction”). Clunky prose can also distract, but that shouldn’t matter to C.S.I. fans, who will enjoy this professional-and professionally morbid-treatment of their favorite T.V. crime dramas.

Product Description
The bestselling forensic psychologist examines the true crimes that inspired the television smash hit, C.S.I.

Katherine Ramsland follows the evidence and revisits some of the most absorbing episodes of the phenomenally popular C.S.I. television franchise, and explores the real-life crimes that inspired them. She also looks into the authenticity of the forensic investigations recreated for the dramatizations, and the painstaking real-life forensic process employed in every one of the actual cases?from notorious mass-murderer Richard Speck, to the massacre of Buddhist monks in an Arizona Temple, to a baffling case of apparent spontaneous combustion.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Brass in Pocket (Mass Market Paperback)

CSI — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:37:32 +0000

Product Description

Far from the glittering lights and 24/7 spectacle of the Strip, the Las Vegas Crime Lab’s team of investigators is gearing up for a rough night ahead…. A brutal shooting at a cheap motel may be business as usual for CSIs Catherine Willows and Nick Stokes, but as they process the crime scene and quickly identify the victim as a noted local private investigator, nothing could prepare them for the shock of finding physical evidence belonging to none other than Detective Jim Brass…. Meanwhile, CSIs Greg Sanders and Riley Adams are called to a nearby airport where they must face the ultimate locked room mystery: how a pilot flying solo in a small private plane wound up murdered while miles above the ground….

THE BULLETPROOF WINDOW was his first clue.

It shouldn’t have been, but Brent McCurdy was beat. He had driven most of the way from Denver, snatching a couple of quick naps while his wife Charlene took her turn behind the wheel. They only had a week’s vacation, and they wanted to spend that week in Las Vegas, playing slots and craps, watching shows and having fun…not staring at the highway between Vegas and Des Moines. So they powered through, Des Moines to Denver in one stretch and there to Vegas in the next, and by the time they reached the Rancho Center Motel at eight-forty that Friday night, Brent was stick-a-fork-in-it done.

A VACANCY sign burned in pink neon, like the legs of a flamingo set afire from within, but the motel office was dark, the door locked. Brent pressed his hands to the glass and stared inside. The place had a threadbare carpet with so many cigarette burns they looked like part of the pattern, and a scarred Formica counter with a big analog clock on the wall behind it. Had there been anyone inside, that person would have looked out and seen a man who was barely describable, of average height and average weight, with the slightest paunch swelling his dark blue polo shirt. His hair was brown, not long but not exceedingly short. His eyes were brown and unremarkable. In the eleventh grade, Brent’s history teacher had recommended that he consider a career in the FBI, because he was a person who could blend in. He had decided against it, and now he managed a chain sporting goods store back in Iowa, and sometimes — but only rarely — regretted that decision.

Brent noticed a window built into the wall, almost like a drive-up window in a fast food joint, that could be accessed from behind the counter. He left the door and walked over to that window, finding thick, bulletproof plastic, scratched and fogged with age, with a little slot at the bottom to shove money or a credit card under and a small metal grate to speak through. A faint light glowed through the window, coming from a hallway he could barely make out. Looking through the Plexiglas was like trying to see through a blizzard. He’d had that experience a few times, which was why he had scheduled his vacation days for summertime. Driving in whiteout conditions didn’t make for a relaxing beginning or end of a trip.

Finding the window tipped him off to the various signals that hadn’t registered at first. Those had been, in fact, broken liquor bottles crunching under his feet as he walked from his parking place. Those had been used condoms and an empty syringe mixed in with greasy burger wrappers and lipstick-stained cigarette butts up against the curb. And those women he had barely noticed, coming out of a room at the end of the building? Well, back home he didn’t see a lot of women in sparkly, low-cut spandex tops and skirts so short they could almost have qualified as belts, swaying with practiced near steadiness on four-inch heels, but that didn’t mean he had never seen hookers before. Once in a while on the streets of Des Moines, but on TV, mostly. He had pay cable, after all. He should have known at a glance what they were.

He looked back toward his Ford Escape, a vehicle that had never before seemed so aptly named. Charlene and the kids were still inside, waiting, every bit as tired as he was, if not more so. They just wanted to get checked in and put their heads down on comfortable pillows. Brent had yet to inspect the pillows so he couldn’t have testified to their comfort, but there was a young guy emerging into the hot July night from a room five doors down from that bulletproof window, and he wore an expression of such rapturous bliss that Brent guessed he was either high or he had just gone through a profound religious experience.

The Rancho Center Motel didn’t seem to lend itself to the latter.

He should have done more thorough online research. The location had been convenient to both the Strip and Fremont Street, and the price was definitely right. But this joint was no family motel. The pool, surrounded by a chain-link fence out in the middle of the parking lot, didn’t even have water in it.

He could tell by a shadow on an inside wall that someone was coming down the interior hallway, toward the bulletproof window. Brent didn’t want to have a face-to-face conversation with anyone who worked here. He didn’t even care about getting his deposit back. He could call and cancel the reservation later, and he would only lose one night’s rent. All he wanted was to flee this dump and find another room somewhere in the city — a room at a place in which he wouldn’t feel that his life and the lives of his family members were in danger at every moment.

He turned away from the oncoming shadow and hurried to the Escape. When he opened the door, the dome light came on and Charlene blinked at him and raised a hand to her cheek. “Is everything okay, honey?”

“Nothing’s okay,” he said. “We’re going somewhere else.”

“Somewhere else? You mean a different motel? Why?”

“Because this place is awful,” he said. Brent Junior and Carnie were sitting up in back, sleepy-eyed but awake, so he didn’t want to go into a lot of detail. There was no sense terrifying the kids on their first night in Las Vegas.

“But I wanna go to bed!” Carnie cried. She was only four and hadn’t been looking forward to the trip anyway, except for the promise of a swimming pool at the motel. She shook a stuffed lion at him with animal ferocity. “I’m tired!”

“We’re all tired, Carnie.” Brent closed his door and clicked his seat belt into place. “We’ll find a better place. It won’t take long.”

“But we have reservations here,” Charlene said. “What if there’s a convention in town or something and we can’t find another place?”

“There’s always a convention in Las Vegas, Charlene, but there are something like a million hotel rooms in the city. I read that somewhere.” He was probably exaggerating, but there were a lot of them. He had read the precise number, but if he was any good with numbers he probably wouldn’t be making his living with bats and balls and racquets and shoes. “We’ll drive around all night if we have to, but we’re not staying here.”

“Aren’t most of them more expensive than this one? That’s what you said, right? This one was a bargain?”

He put the vehicle in reverse and backed out of the space. “So we’ll skip the shows, or cut back on meals. I don’t care. This place — “

Brent Junior had been about to register an objection of his own, his six-year-old whine already gathering steam, when a loud bang sounded from behind them and silenced the boy. Brent thought it was the sound of a door being slammed. He shoved the SUV into drive and stepped on the gas. The engine’s growl nearly drowned out screams from the motel. But then he heard shouting and a sharp report, louder than the first bang, and saw a bright spark near the pool that must have been a muzzle flash.

“Somebody’s shooting!” he shouted. “Call nine-one-one!”

Charlene was already pawing her phone from her purse as the vehicle surged from the parking lot, cutting the angle wrong and bouncing off the curb with two wheels. Brent didn’t care.

He just wanted to get gone, while he still could.

“Catherine’s in charge.”

Those had been Gil Grissom’s last words before leaving the lab for the airport. He was flying off to Washington, D.C., where he would be a featured speaker at a symposium on forensic entomology, after which he would testify before a congressional committee about the necessity of public financing for small city crime labs. As it was, most rural, small town, and small city police forces sent their caseloads to the big city labs, which were already backed up with their own big city crime. The additional workload slowed everything down, a vicious circle that left felonies unsolved and criminals on the streets. Gil would be more comfortable talking about the insects that frequented dead bodies, but his testimony before Congress would be sincere and convincing, and Catherine Willows couldn’t help feeling a tickle of associational pride at the knowledge that her boss was helping to make a difference on a national level.

She also didn’t mind being in charge. She had kind of enjoyed it, in fact, when she had temporarily been swing shift supervisor. If she rather than Gil had been the actual supervisor, the lab would be a different place, but primarily in small, cosmetic ways. Gil ran it well and she had few real complaints about his leadership. Still, she was an ambitious woman with ideas of her own and the drive to want to put them into action. But if Gil hadn’t been out of town, she might not have had to go to the Rancho Center Motel, which was just the kind of hole that made her want to burn her clothes and scrub her skin down with steel wool when she was finished. On this hot night, with the overloaded window air conditioners dripping onto the sidewalk, the building itself seemed to be sweating. The parking lot held a peculiar reek all its own. And she hadn’t even reached the DB yet.

That was still waiting for her inside Room 119. The door from the parking lot was open. Catherine and Nick Stokes had to pass under yellow crime scene tape and sign a log sheet to get to it…a far cry from the more exclusive spots around town, where the crowd control ropes were crushed velvet and the bouncers didn’t wear uniforms and badges.

“Take a deep breath, Nicky,” she said outside the door. “Bad as it is out here, it’ll be much worse in there.”

Nick raised an eyebrow and twitched his lips, the closest thing to a smile he could muster at the moment. He knew the score. Catherine didn’t think the reminder would offend him, but she had to watch herself. She was nobody’s mom but Lindsey’s, and Lindsey didn’t work at the Las Vegas Police Department’s crime lab.

The motel room looked pretty much as she had expected it to. She had been here before — this wasn’t the joint’s first homicide — and this wasn’t the kind of place that spent a lot of money on regular remodels. A bed sat in the middle of the room, with a nightstand made of some woodlike substance next to it. A small dresser stood against …

Bloodstain Pattern Analysis with an Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction, Third Edition (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations) (Hardcover)

CSI — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:20:20 +0000

Review

“Mr. Bevel and Mr. Gardner have expanded on the earlier editions of this book and although bloodstain pattern analysis can be a complicated and highly technical subject, this book, although comprehensive, is written in a manner that is easy to understand.”
—Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology; Humana Press

Overall the text is entirely comprehensive and up-to-date in its content; it would be a wise choice for a student of bloodstain pattern analysis.
—Tom Mavin, Sgt., Forensic Identification Branch, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Cambridge, Ontario, writing in Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal

… completely revised and enhanced … a practical and concisely written text. … the most complete and comprehensive handbook to date from the perspective of the criminal investigator and forensic scientist on the subject of bloodstain spatter analysis….an eloquent and practical guide…
—(from the foreword) Vernon J. Geberth, M.S., M.P.S., Author of Practical Homicide Investigation
