Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In Maggots, Murder and Men a forensic entomologist, Dr. Zakaria Erzinclioglu--known affectionately as Dr. Zak or the Maggotologist--studies and outlines how insects can be used to aid a murder investigation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The science of forensic entomology-the application of insect biology to the investigation of crime-is extremely specialized, combining as it does an expert knowledge of entomology with keen powers of observation and deduction. Dr. Erzinclioglu has been a practitioner for over twenty-five years and has been involved in a great number of investigations, including some recent high-profile cases, where his evidence has been critical to the outcome. <p/>A great admirerer of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Erzinclioglu compares his own techniques with those of his fictional hero, and takes the reader behind the often gruesome but deeply fascinating scenes of a murder investigation. This absorbing book ranges over cases from history, prehistory and mythology to the present day and is as gripping and readable as a good thriller.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sure to attract readers from among 'CSI' devotees, this book is a page-turner--but not for the squeamish. The logic in the book could shame Sherlock Holmes. A total find." --<i>Santa Cruz Sentinel</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Dr. Zakaria Erzinclioglu</b> was formerly Senior Research Associate at Cambridge University and also Director of the Forensic Science Research Center at Durham University. In his capacity as a forensic entomologist he is one of the most experienced scientists in the business. He is well known in England and has appeared in a number of television programs including <i>The Witness Was a Fly</i> for the BBC.</p>
