Reputedly inspired by the Sherlock Holmes stories, Austrian criminal jurist and examining magistrate Hans Gross wrote the first handbook on criminal investigation. This treatise covers everything from the qualities of a good investigating officer and how to utilize various experts, to tactics employed by criminals, how to analyze footprints and blood stains, and ways that criminals perpetrate crimes. Some of the remarks relate directly to India, such as disguising one's caste.
Volume 1 (of 3) consists of Part 1 of the 4 parts in the work. - Summary by TriciaG (15 hr 44 min)

Not everyone's cup of tea, perhaps, but quite interesting and enjoyable. The science is far less dated than I had expected. I think anyone interested in TV shows like CSI would get a kick out of this. Lastly, don't be scared off by the fact that this is read by various volunteers. In my opinion, all did an acceptable job and many excelled.
