Although forensic procedure is teamwork,calling on the skills of a variety of professionals,the medico-legal investigation of death still begins on the autopsy table,where the findings of the forensic pathologist establish the line of enquiry.Whenever the police uncover crimes which leave them baffled - no clues,no suspects,no trails to follow - it is often forensic pathologists who come to the rescue.Gleaning evidence from wounds and weapons,from blood, saliva,semen and countless obscure sources,these dedicated men and women confront the sometimes horrible and taboo to build cases against criminals who believed they were safe.The many real-life cases presented here are drawn from the records of forensic scientists and were solved on the basis of forensic medical evidence. 'Proclaimed in Blood' is an engrossing insight into a dozen real- life murder cases and into a world of outstanding expertise where every obstacle is a challenge,and the truth is pursued with the intensity of an obsession.A high-price callgirl is battered to death and impaled on a steel fence near Glasgow city centre.A forensic pathologist found traces of vegetable tissue under the woman's nails.When the tissue was analysed it identified the killer and led to his conviction. Lily Dale was found bludgeoned to death.Strong clues pointed to her son Albert as the killer, but Albert could prove he was out of the country when his mother died.A forensic pathologist used his knowledge of maggots to prove that Lily had died before Albert went abroad. Louise,an American fashion photographer,was found raped and strangled in an alleyway between two hotels.Heavy rain had washed away visible clues,but a paper tissue found near a dustbin bore enough traces of blood and other body fluid to make DNA profiling worthwhile.The results were spectacular: they eliminated three suspects and pinpointed a fourth as the killer.When a New York woman cut her husband's throat then staged her own apparent rape and serious wounding,she thought police would believe her story of a marauder entering their apartment in the dead of night.Instead,a forensic pathology team pieced together the horrendous true story, making a case strong enough to send the woman to jail for the rest of her life.
