Strictly Murder!  Provides crime writers with essential information on all aspects of murder and its investigation and prosecution, including

•     murder motives

•     murder methods

•     murder types

•     criminal profiles

•     police investigative tools and procedures

•    medical examiner and crime lab tools and procedures

•     criminal court procedures

•     definitions of commonly used police terminology

      … and much more.

Unique to this book is the inclusion of an actual Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department “murder book”—a law enforcement agency’s complete paper trail that follows a murder from the time it is first reported through the arrest of a suspect.  A “murder book” collects every report made by every person connected with a murder investigation, including the first officer on the scene, forensic investigators, and detectives.

Strictly Murder!  Also includes short chapters written by investigative, criminal-profiling, and crime-lab professionals.
