Jürgen Thorwald details the transition from traditional detective work to rigorous scientific investigation, highlighting how forensic medicine and new laboratory techniques revolutionized the justice system. By analyzing historical true crime cases, the author demonstrates the growing reliability of physical evidence over mere testimony.
