Homicide Cop's Bible
I have been a criminal investigator for over 35 years, and have attended Vernon Geberth's basic and advanced Practical Homicide Investigation courses. With this addition, I now own his complete Practical Homicide Investigations publications editions 01 through 05. I frequently reference his books in the course of my death investigations, and find his wisdom and guidance to be invaluable. Simply, a must have for anyone who conducts these type of investigations. I firmly agree with Mr. Geberth, we do have a profound duty and awesome responsibility to both the victim and the surviving family in our death/murder investigation, and his publications are an invaluable resource in our search for the truth. And, we truly do only have one chance, get it right on the first time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
