Case Closed: The Real Scoop on Detective Work

88 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-29315-4 $$18.95
(4) 4-6 Brief chapters with black-and-white photos describe the work police detectives do, examining evidence and questioning witnesses, and explain how a crime laboratory assists the investigation by analyzing DNA, bullets, fingerprints, and other materials. A section about famous detectives of the past diverts from the main topic and contributes to the unfocused quality of this overbroad but substantive survey. Bib., ind.
