Description

"Indispensable... Don't even think of writing a medical mystery without the wise counsel of Dr. D. P. Lyle." -- Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Diagnosis Murder and Monk novels
How long can someone survive in a cold, damp cave without food or water? How was diphtheria treated in 1886? Can Botox kill? Can DNA be found on a knife years later? How are mummified corpses identified? How long does it take blood to clot when spilled on a tile floor? What happens in death from electrocution?
As a consultant to many novelists around the world and to the writers of such popular TV shows as Monk, Law & Order, House, and CSI: Miami, D. P. Lyle, M.D., has answered many cool, clever, and oddball questions over the years. Forensics and Fiction: Clever, Intriguing, and Downright Odd Questions from Crime Writers is a collection of the best of these questions. The answers are provided in a concise and entertaining fashion that will keep you wide awake so you can read "just one more."
"A terrific resource for crime writers and anyone interested in forensics... will jump-start your imagination about all kinds of ingenious crimes, crime-solving techniques, and plot twists." -- Matt Witten, supervising producer of the Fox TV show House
