In Murder Mayhem, Dr. Doug Lyle culls the best of his
popular 'The Doctor is In' QA column for the Mystery
Writers of America, in which he answers medical and
forensic questions from writers all over the country.
Clearly organized into subjects such as 'Weapons of
Death,' 'Police the Crime Scene,' 'the Coroner the Crime
Lab,' and more, the questions cover a wide range: Do
pupils shrink or enlarge with death? Can ingested cocaine
kill? How soon do strangu-lation bruises appear? Lively
and accessible, this solid reference is bound for every
mystery writer's shelf.
