For all you TV thriller fans, The Science of Cold Case Files is an in depth exploration into the world of modern forensic science, the kind highly-acclaimed CBS TV drama `CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' is based upon. Yes, it's that interesting. It's also heavier. Like the series, there's the thrill of discovery to The Cold Case. The only other book to have given me a such a rush to date, was Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, both having in common, thriller elements and insights into a specialized world we could - who knows - accidentally careen into by force of circumstance, tomorrow. Just knowing this will engage your imagination. Except that the Cold Case delivers this with more gravity, being an expose on the dark side of man, and it's also heavy with science stuff. So, it cannot quite be described as unputdownable but the wonder of it all is Ramsland is a lucid and concise writer, so if you're a diehard CSI fan, like me, it'll be a book you'll want to finish, when you can.
