The UK’s No. 1 forensic scientist talks about her most high-profile and interesting cases

I love mysteries and finding answers is the only truly enjoyable part of my job.

Professor Patricia Wiltshire is a forensic scientist who works at crime scenes, collecting samples, standing over bodies in the morgue or peering through a microscope in search of evidence. She has been involved in some of the most high-profile murder cases, including the murders of Sarah Payne, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Sogham. Patricia not only helps police solve cases, but also acquits the innocent and extracts confessions from the real killers. And now she is ready to show the whole world how she manages to find solutions to the most horrific crimes imaginable.

In the book “The Nature of Crime. "The Clues That Nature Leaves Us" is a collection of mysteries and shocking evidence from Professor Wiltshire's cases that prove that life and death have always been, are, and will always be inextricably linked. Nature gave us a messy, imperfect world, but her main task is to help us understand it when we need it most.
