I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.

Hello, i'm an amateur writer, but i like to be as detailed as possible. Is a snapped broken neck easily spotted on a murdered victim? What would that injury look like, swelling on the neck area, bruising? And where exactly? Thank you.

Could blood be drawn from someone who'd just died and planted at a different crime scene? If no body was at the staged crime scene and the perpetrator intentionally created blood spatter, would a forensic expert be able to tell the scene was staged?
