EVERY CONTACT LEAVES A TRACE My Life as a Crime Scenes Investigator by Jo Ward

Enter the fascinating world of crime scene investigation with this chilling memoir from Jo Ward of BBC’s Forensics – the Real CSI.

For most people, dead bodies are horrifying. They are the physical representation of everything we’re afraid of: our own mortality, the unknown, the inevitability and lack of dignity of the end. But for Jo, a dead body is absolutely fascinating, as she finds the clues that will lead police to their killers. Every scene teaches her something new. Every murder is a chance to obtain justice for the dead. Because every contact leaves a trace…

Jo is part of a generation of pioneering women who lead forensic investigation in the UK. Her investigations into high-profile crimes have been the subject of a BBC Two documentary, Forensics – the Real CSI.

She will be in conversation today with Jo Durrant, the award-winning presenter of the independent arts & science podcast ‘Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe’.
