(4) 4-6 Forensic Files series. These rushed but intriguing accounts describe how various crimes, including the Hitler Diaries hoax and the Washington, D.C., sniper case, were solved using forensic techniques (e.g., fingerprint matching, handwriting and voiceprint analysis, DNA testing). Text, information boxes, and mediocre color photos crowd the pages. Each volume concludes with a fictional case on which readers can test their newfound forensic knowledge. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Forensic Files titles: Investigating Murder Mysteries, Investigating Fakes & Hoaxes, and Investigating Thefts & Heists.
