No Evidence of a Crime by S. Connell Vondrak

Detectives Jim Jarrod and Kathleen Jackson are investigating the death of a congressman's aid. But something is not quite right with the analysis of the evidence. The murder weapon was fired from several hundred yards away from the crime scene, but the crime lab identifies the murder weapon as a Glock. The congressman's aid was pregnant, but the father of the child is identified as a gang member. And on top of that, cocaine was found in the blood of the mother, but not in that of the child.

To help them figure out what is going on, detectives Jarred and Jackson bring in a trusted forensic scientist to re-analyze the evidence. The conclusion is undeniable. The evidence is being tampered with. The results can't be trusted. They need to figure out who is manipulating the evidence... and why.

I loved this book. The author is a forensic scientist and it shows. This book is full of real life CSI. Not what you see on television but what actually happens in the real world. I was amazed at how long the preparation for a DNA test takes. If you are interested in forensic science, then this book is definitely for you. All evidence points to this book being a great read.
