After department layoffs and an increase in crime, Crime Scene Specialist (CSS) Renee McKenzie develops her own crime scene team of junior interns, including her own daughter, Bailey.
​
The team arrives to their biggest crime scene yet, a triple homicide - narcotics investigation. Bailey's father, DEA Agent Liam McKenzie, is brought in to help with the case which takes a personal turn when the team, specifically Bailey, comes under attack and their lives are placed in danger!
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION: The Forensic Technician's Field Manual was written in response to the need for a textbook that details the tasks performed by the person who identifies, documents, collects, preserves, and transports evidence at and from a crime scene. The book is organized as a step-by-step guide for the college student as well as the sworn peace officer or civilian who functions as a crime scene specialist (forensic technician.) As such, the book is appropriate for basic courses in forensic technology and as a field manual or training aid for practitioners. Numerous photographs help to illustrate the techniques discussed.
