Title: Fingerprinting
Description: London, Franklin Watts. 1971, First Edition. (ISBN: 0851664350). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First UK edition. A Very Good+ unmarked copy apart from a touch of foxing to fore edge with VG+ price clipped dustjacket. The stories behind many 'firsts' in the history of crime, including the most famous art thief in history who was identified by means of his fingerprints. At times the art of identification can be extraordinarily difficult and odd, as in the case of a hand found in the belly of a shark, a mummy four years old in a cold warehouse, a charred French corpse, two dismembered women of Lancaster - police were able to use all of these people (or parts of people) as clues in solving baffling mysteries. NOT EX LIB C3B. Very Good/Very Good.
