Metropolitan Police Office. Criminal Investigation Department -- Officials and employees | Legal photography | Crime scenes | Crime | True Crime | Social services & welfare, criminology | Criminal or forensic psychologySummary: For years, A.J. Bennett was the first person onto a crime scene. Before the detectives and the forensics teams, it was her and the body, the only sound her flashbulb as it lit up scenes of unimaginable horror. It was her job to record, in exhaustive detail, the images that would allow someone's last moments to be understood. Now she takes us into the shadowy world of the crime scene photographer, from murders to suicides, accidents to assassinations. The photographs she has taken have put killers behind bars, freed the innocent and helped justice to happen. But a life surrounded by so much death takes a heavy toll and Bennett is unflinching in her portrayal of the impact. In the tradition of 'Unnatural Causes', 'When the Dogs Don't Bark' and 'All That Remains', this is a true crime book full of the wisdom that can be found in the darkness.
