  Every contact leaves a trace: a single strand of hair or a tiny droplet of blood can be the silent witness at a crime scene. 
  Locard’s Exchange Principle underpins all forensic science and holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring something to the crime scene and leave with something from it. 
  Forensic experts use this principle daily to catch murderers and assailants. In Risking Life for Death, South African forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal offers a master class in this singular forensic technique based on real-life case studies. With more than twenty years’ experience in the field, Blumenthal explains how to look for clues and traces, and how what he does not find at autopsy is often more important than what he does find. In other words, the absence of evidence can sometimes be of greater value than the presence of evidence. 
  His account also highlights the dangers forensic pathologists are exposed to daily. As they try to unravel the puzzle of someone’s death, forensic pathologists often face life-threatening infections, toxic gases and the hazards associated with high-profile cases – in effect, risking their life to solve someone else’s death. 
  An understanding of Locard’s Exchange Principle can help you become a medical detective in your own life, can help you be a happier person and can even provide you with a better philosophy for growing older, Blumenthal argues.

  Award-winning filmmaker Tanya Selvaratnam bravely recounts the intimate abuse she suffered from former New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, using her story as a prism to examine the domestic violence crisis plaguing America. 
   
  When Tanya Selvaratnam met then New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman at the Democratic National Convention in July 2016, they seemed like the perfect match. Both were Harvard alumni; both studied Chinese; both were interested in spirituality and meditation, both were well-connected rising stars in their professions—Selvaratnam in entertainment and the art world; Schneiderman in law and politics.  
  Behind closed doors, however, Tanya’s life was anything but ideal. Schneiderman became controlling, mean, and manipulative. He drank heavily and used sedatives. Sex turned violent, and he called Tanya—who was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Southern California—his “brown slave.” He isolated and manipulated her, even threatening to kill her if she tried to leave.  
  Twenty-five percent of women in America are victims of domestic abuse. Tanya never thought she would be a part of this statistic. Growing up, she witnessed her father physically and emotionally abuse her mother. Tanya knew the patterns and signs of domestic violence, and did not see herself as remotely vulnerable. Yet what seemed impossible was suddenly a terrifying reality: she was trapped in a violent relationship with one of the most powerful men in New York.  
  Sensitive and nuanced, written with the gripping power of a dark psychological thriller, Assume Nothing details how Tanya’s relationship devolved into abuse, how she found the strength to leave—risking her career, reputation, and life—and how she reclaimed her freedom and her voice. In sharing her story, Tanya analyzes the insidious way women from all walks of life learn to accept abuse, and redefines what it means to be a victim of intimate violence.

  The Serial Killer’s Daughter -...

  In the early 1980s, a series of brutal murders shook California. The killers claimed their victims were “witches”—targets in a warped mission fueled by delusion, paranoia, and absolute conviction. The media would later name them the Witch Killers. 
  But this is not their story. 
  This is the story of what they left behind. 
  At just nine years old, Jenn Carson was forced to confront a reality few can imagine: her father was not just dangerous—he was a serial killer. As the truth unfolded through arrests, trials, and national headlines, Jenn was left to navigate a life forever tied to crimes she did not commit, but could never fully escape. 
  In The Serial Killer’s Daughter, this powerful true crime narrative moves beyond sensational headlines to examine the human cost of violence. Drawing from documented accounts, court records, and real events, the book uncovers the chilling beliefs that drove the killings, the lives that were taken, and the lasting impact on those left behind. 
  This is a story about: 
  The dangerous line between belief and brutality 
  The victims' myth overshadowed whose lives 
  And a daughter determined not to be defined by her father’s crimes 
  Unflinching, factual, and deeply human, this book challenges the narratives that often surround true crime—and replaces them with something more important: truth. 
  Because some stories aren’t about how the crimes happened. 
  They’re about what remains after.

  The Idaho Student Murders - How...

  On the night of Saturday, November 12, 2022, four University of Idaho students went out with friends, came home, and went to bed. By the time the sun came up, all four of them were dead.
   
  Madison Mogen. Kaylee Goncalves. Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin. Twenty and twenty-one years old. Stabbed in their beds in a quiet college town that had not seen a single homicide in five years.
   
  What followed was one of the most gripping true crime investigations in modern American history — forty-seven days of silence, a community holding its breath, and a forensic breakthrough so precise it reads like fiction. The man eventually arrested was not a drifter or a stranger to the area. He was a PhD student in criminology, eight miles away, who had driven past that house at least twelve times in the dark before he came back to kill.
   
  Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He has never explained why he committed these murders.
   
  In this book, I take you inside everything the headlines missed. The forensic breakthrough that cracked the case. The families in that Boise courtroom. The surviving roommate who opened her bedroom door and saw something she will never unsee. And the silence at the centre of it all that no verdict and no life sentence has ever filled.
   
  The case is closed. The truth is not.
   
  You have heard the case. Now hear the story.
