Renowned forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow works with Argentine scientists to identify victims of “The Dirty War;” a conservation biologist uses DNA to trace the origins of illegal ivory shipments; and FBI agents bust a sophisticated international computer hacking ring in a two-year investigation called Operation Phish Phry. These are just a few of the true-crime cases author Sara Latta describes in her books for middle-grade readers, part of the True Forensic Crime Stories series. Latta couples the origins of forensic science as it applies to each book with contemporary true-crime tales. Sure to please young CSI fans, these stories are the perfect way to learn about forensic science and the techniques and tools scientists use to solve crimes. Also in this series: DNA & Blood: Dead People DO Tell Tales and Cybercrime: Data Trails DO Tell Tales.
