The Evidence Never Lies: The Casebook of a Modern Sherlock Holmes
by Alfred A. Lewis Herbert L. Macdonell[from inside flaps] "He has been called the Isaac Newton of ballistics, the Magellan of fingerprints, the Galileo of blood. He is Herbert Leon MacDonell and, in more than 200 criminal cases, he has proved himself an expert in using the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology to reconstruct the crime and pin the criminal. Colorful, crusty, and iconoclastic, Herbert MacDonell has been called upon to offer analysis and testimony in some of the past two decades' most public murders—including the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. He has been involved in such celebrated cases as that of Jean Harris, Joann Chesimard, and Buddy Jacobson. MacDonell is the author of Bloodstain Pattern Interpretation, the definitive text on bloodstains, and has been instrumental in gaining acceptance for such evidence in the courts. His invention of the MAGNA-Brush revolutionized fingerprint work, increasing the types of surfaces from which prints could be lifted and making it possible for nonexperts to do the job. Now, Alfred Allan Lewis recounts seven of MacDonell's most intriguing cases. With only a scrap of wood, a hunk of wadding, and his own gun tests, MacDonell pieces together proof of the innocence of a young man accused of murdering his hunting companion; solely on the basis of blood smears and spatters, MacDonell pins the guilt for a set of gruesome murders on the scion of a prominent southern family; at a distance of three thousand miles from the scene of the crime and with the police stymied by the absence of a corpse, MacDonell gives proof positive that a murder has indeed occurred—and identifies the killer; in less than a day, MacDonell minutely reconstructs all the details of the infamous 1969 Black Panther shoot-out in Chicago—and pinpoints responsibility for the bloodbath on the police. Here, then, are true crime dramas played out to the puzzle-solving perfection that one would expect from a modern-day Sherlock Holmes."

Evidence of Things Not Seen: Fantastical Blackness in Genre Fictions
by Rhonda D. FrederickEvidence of Things Not Seen: Fantastical Blackness in Genre Fictions is an interdisciplinary study of blackness in genre literature of the Americas. The “fantastical” in fantastical blackness is conceived by an unrestrained imagination because it lives, despite every attempt at annihilation. This blackness amazes because it refuses the limits of anti-blackness. As put to work in this project, fantastical blackness is an ethical praxis that centers black self-knowledge as a point of departure rather than as a reaction to threatening or diminishing dominant narratives. Mystery, romance, fantasy, mixed-genre, and science fictions’ unrestrained imaginings profoundly communicate this quality of blackness, specifically here through the work of Barbara Neely, Colson Whitehead, Nalo Hopkinson, and Colin Channer. When black writers center this expressive quality, they make fantastical blackness available to a broad audience that then uses its imaginable vocabularies to reshape extra-literary realities. Ultimately, popular genres’ imaginable possibilities offer strategies through which the made up can be made real.
