Murder Maps USA : Crime Scenes Revisited, Bloodstains to Ballistics
- American crime history, mapped with forensic precision.
*BOOKOFF POLECA*
Murder Maps USA is a gripping visual exploration of some of the most notorious crimes in American history — told through maps, diagrams, archival material, and forensic analysis. From early crime scenes defined by bloodstains and witness accounts to the rise of ballistics, fingerprinting, and modern investigative methods, this book reveals how crime is shaped by geography, technology, and social context.
This is true crime — analytical, visual, and deeply immersive.
