About this product

Product Information

A tale of forensic innovation with a little mortuary humour blended in. Injuries, usually on victims of murder, are compared with the causative weapon. Teeth are man's oldest weapon and David Lewin extended the expertise used to match bite marks to all other patterned injuries and their possible cause. Following on from there his techniques are used to forecast what could have caused injury patterns on skin as well as marks at crime scenes so the police know what to look for, as with the Victoria Climbie trial. Cases chosen to illustrate the development of the expertise range from the notorious MP Alan Clark whose dog bit the BBC cameraman; to marks on the clothing of a young woman killed fifteen years previously - up until then unsolved. Could David suggest what caused those marks? The author and her husband work together in the mortuary and, back at their office, carry out the analysis. At court they diverge: while Lewin gives expert evidence from the witness box, his wife projects an image of the injury onto a large screen and moves an outline of the weapon over the injury image. They seem to be an intriguing phenomenon on the forensic scene - a husband-and-wife team. Bite to Byte takes a look at the work that goes on behind the scenes at Crown Court, via the custody cells and the mortuary - a mix of scientific invention and life in the witness box plus a whodunnit element where every job has its lighter moments. The various facets of their work are described in 10 cases, chosen from over 200 to date, to illustrate the development of the expertise. Each case has a scientific and human interest and there are thumbnail sketches of those involved in the investigations: forensic experts, detectives, mortuary attendants, barristers, criminals and victims.

    A smooth and professional transaction throughout. The item was exactly as described, clearly listed, and fairly priced. Communication from the seller was prompt, polite, and helpful, with dispatch confirmed quickly. The parcel was securely packaged and arrived in excellent condition, ahead of the expected delivery date. Care was taken at every stage of the process. I would be happy to buy from this seller again—many thanks for a reliable and well-handled sale.

    The seller kindly got in touch to say the book I ordered did not meet the quality advertised due to being found to be in a poor condition at the packing stage. Unfortuntely no replacement was available and would I like to pick a book of equivalent value from the marketplace - which I did. That book arrived safely and was in the condition advertised. I have used this seller many times before and I am grateful for their quality control decission, rather than send me a damaged book. Will use again.
