Quick Summary
Step into a real-world crime lab where chemistry, DNA, and clever detective work combine to crack cases that feel like they're straight out of a TV episode. Readers get to try simple experiments, decode fingerprint patterns, and follow step-by-step lab procedures that turn every chapter into a hands-on mystery puzzle. If your teen enjoys the CSI TV series or puzzle-filled mystery books, they'll find this guide equally irresistible. It's ideal for high-school students in grades 9-12 who have a curiosity for science and a love for solving puzzles.
