By Joseph Wambaugh. Ex-cop and "master storyteller" Wambaugh takes his mastery to the UK for "the first case solved by genetic fingerprinting."
This is the Wambaugh everybody sells for some reason, and in the case of this particular hardcover, you can kind of see why: the jacket is worn and has some tears, as pictured, plus a sticker "ghost" or two; there's a mild tilt to the spine, and the boards are a bit bumped. But the pages are clean; it's a perfectly good reading copy if you ditch the jacket.
