Publisher's summary

In his sixth book in the True Crime Series, John Summit thoroughly examines the origins of DNA and how advancements in DNA analysis around the world have propelled law enforcement and crime scene investigation into a new era.

DNA evidence, a mere 30 years following its initial and hesitant acceptance, has served as an incredibly powerful technique in identifying not only current criminals, but those who literally lived their lives believing they had gotten away with murder - only to have forensic science ultimately catch up with them.

You will be shocked and astonished as Mr. Summit takes you through some of the groundbreaking cases where DNA was able to assist law officials in capturing some of America's most prevalent and violent murderers. Some of the cases profiled are infamous, others you may never have heard of, but the criminals in this audiobook share one commonality - they were on the loose until those microscopic molecules known as DNA nabbed them for good.

Today, beneath the complexities of DNA collection and analysis, we can rest assured that it is the singular most beneficial way for scientists, the medical community, and government agencies to be able to identify a suspect using his or her unique genetic blueprint.

If you've never heard any of Mr. Summit's work in the prior volumes of his True Crime Series, this audiobook is a great place to start and is a real brain tweak.

Hard to Listen too!

I love audible and have been listening to audio books for years, usually while commuting to work or walking my dogs. This was the worst recording so far. In my opinion, the reader's voice was irritating to listen to. Also, the way that she emphasized words and phrases was bothersome. The information about the crimes and DNA was interesting, but difficult to listen to.

I couldn't finish the book

I'm not sure if the book was good or bad because I coulnd't finish the book. The narrator was so bad that I couldn't even stand to listen for 5 minutes of it. I wanted to give the 0 star if I could. She maybe good for fiction or some characters from novel but not for scientific book. She ruined it for me. I wasted my 1 credit for this one.
