Based on the hugely successful Real-Life Crimes series, the volume examines the painstaking search for evidence behind every criminal prosecution , which can sometime lead to a murderer being convicted years after the crime was committed.

The book includes a range of cases including:

The Skeleton in the Carpet - human remains fond in a Cardiff backyard led to the uncovering of a teenager's tragic life and death.

Flaming Murder - the fatal fire looked like an accident, but in fact the victim in the garage had been murdered in an almost perfect crime.

The Exploded Body - the violent death of gangster Randy Bethell was to pose crime investigators a major identification problem.
