Wagner, Edgar-winning author of The Science of Sherlock Holmes, whose book uses Holmes's techniques, including his use of fingerprints, early photography, trace evidence, autopsies and even zoology, as a jumping-off point to discuss the growth of forensic science during the 19th and early 20th century.
