For over forty years, Professor Dame Sue Black has analysed criminal evidence at the highest level. As the UK’s leading forensic scientist, she has stood in court as an expert witness, repeatedly putting her research and reputation on the line, all in the name of justice. Now in this work she puts forensic science itself on trial. Drawing on shocking real cases and true crime, from historic poisonings to modern sexual offences, Sue Black traces the evolution of forensic science, from early identification methods to more recent breakthroughs such as DNA profiling, Sue’s own vein identification research, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in criminal investigation. She shows where science has delivered justice, and where failures have led to devastating consequences, including wrongful convictions such as that of Andrew Malkinson, imprisoned for seventeen years for a crime he did not commit.

In September 2022, Scandinavian seismologists picked up tremors that resembled a huge undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption. These signals were caused by several devastating explosions that destroyed Nord Stream, the $20 billion pipeline carrying cheap Russian gas to Europe. The consequences were immediate, shifting global geopolitics, delivering a body blow to one of the world’s largest economies, fuelling tensions in the Russo-Ukrainian war and triggering a manhunt that would rupture relations within the NATO alliance. Despite capturing the imagination of millions, the mystery of who blew up the pipeline has so far gone unsolved – was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have been behind it? Was it part of the shadow war between Russia and the West? – until now.

Drawing on years of investigation and exclusive access to the stories’ key players, Matthew Campbell reveals how the treasures of one of the world’s greatest civilizations were stolen, sold, and finally found.

Written by the world’s bestselling storyteller James Patterson, this is the original and definitive account of how Jeffrey Epstein built his fortune, abused his power, and evaded justice for years – hiding in plain sight among the global elite.

From the author of ‘A Waiter In Paris’ comes an intimate and authentically told true story from the Parisian demi-monde of the 1960s, when the high-life and the low-life went hand in hand. It was a time when the French New Wave of cinema was taking the world by storm, a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos and night clubs – and at the heart of it all, the man of the moment, the enigmatic film star Alain Delon, dubbed ‘the most beautiful man in the world’. With a shady past and a taste for bad company and high-living, Delon lived on the edge. But when a dead body turns up in the outskirts of Paris that turns out to be Stevan Markovic, Delon’s friend, ‘bodyguard’ and associate, questions start to be asked.

On 20 August 1612, ten people from Pendle were executed before a vast crowd at Lancaster’s Gallows Hill. The condemned and their associates had endured six months of accusations, imprisonment and torture; their treatment was such that one of the group died in Lancaster Castle’s dungeons, while awaiting trial. Today, a thriving tourism industry exists in and around Pendle, the former home of the so-called witches, yet virtually everything we know about the case originates from a single source: Thomas Potts’ ‘Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches’, hurriedly published in 1613 and distinctly skewed in favour of the prosecution. Now, Carol Ann Lee brings a fresh perspective to the story by approaching it as true crime. Her research leads to revelatory discoveries, transforming our knowledge of those shadowy figures behind ill-famed names, and the terrible events that befell them.
