American Sherlock Holmes
14.99 €
Berkeley, California, 1933. In a laboratory packed with flasks, microscopes, Bunsen burners and hundreds and hundreds of books sits a man who is destined to become one of the first forensic scientists in the United States and successfully solve more than two thousand crimes during his career. His name is Edward Oscar Heinrich, and he rightfully deserves the admired nickname of America's Sherlock Holmes. Oscar Henry worked during Prohibition and the Great Depression. At a time when even simple fingerprinting was considered a novelty and caused great doubt in court, and crimes were investigated with the intelligence and persistence of police officers. It was only Henry's genius that gave the police such seemingly obvious methods these days as blood spatter analysis, ballistics and latent fingerprint analysis. This is a documentary history of the life, work, and investigations of the man who created much of what modern forensic science is based on.
