Never Suck A Dead Man's Hand: Curious Adventures of a C.S.I.

Step past the flashing lights into the true scene of the crime- a frank, unflinching, and unforgettable account of life as a crime scene investigator. Smart, sassy, and blessed-or cursed, depending on your point of view-with a stomach capable of working through the most horrific circumstances, Dana Kollmann details her true, experiences as a CSI. Unlike the popular crime dramas proliferating on today's television networks, Kollmann's forensic tales show what really goes down once the yellow tape goes up. Kollmann unveils the process and science of crime scene investigation. Whether explaining rigor mortis or the art of fingerprinting a stiff corpse on the side of the road, frantically brushing off a shower of roaches or pushing away a dead body, speeding to a horrific accident scene or cautiously entering a house of death, she shows what it's really like to work in the front line.
