Book Reviews
"I have been a fingerprint examiner for more than 25 years. I have seen how false information about fingerprint evidence has diminished this important evidence. Thank you, Mr. Scarborough for this book. It will help us defend fingerprint evidence in court." -Bill , retired CSI
"Just finished the book this weekend! Steve, the author, did a fantastic job drawing you in by continuously guessing who the bad guy might be! Really keeps you thinking. Just when you feel you're on it, you get pulled away and he creates an atmosphere where you begin to worry who the next victim will be. Not to mention the frustrations you feel as the investigation seems almost hopeless.
It's a quick easy read format, plus, you even learn photography tips and a little about art!
Oh, the descriptions of the quiet little town, the surroundings and women that roam the beaches... Well, let's just say I'm packing my bags!" -Duke
"Escaping this new world we live in." -Ali
