Traces of Truth
Kitap hakkında
From the crime scene to the courtroom, a gripping insider perspective from a former CSI
Despite his childhood fear of death, Ciaran Prior chose to become a Garda crime scene investigator, a role that brought him face-to-face with what he once feared most.
In this revealing memoir, Ciaran sensitively details his work on some of Ireland's most shocking killings, from the murder of chip shop owner Franco Sacco to the double assassination of Eddie McCabe and Catherine Brennan in 1995, offering the reader a unique insight into the role of a CSI in modern-day policing, as well as describing the impact that frontline encounters with death had on Ciaran's own outlook.
Much more than just a forensic police procedural, Traces of Truth is both a fascinating glimpse into the techniques, instinct and judgement required to see justice done, and a moving reflection on life, death and the traces that a career spent dealing with mortality leave on a man's psyche.
