Dead Reckoning is a collection of modern-day true crime cases that are equivalent to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes crime stories of the Victorian era.  Nordby effectively employs the science of deductive  reasoning and critical thinking to descriptively capture and recreate the  details surrounding a diverse collection of crimes.  Crime scene techniques  are so well described, the scenes come alive in the mind's eye in each  chapter.  Cleverly woven into each case are vivid intricacies of  specialized disciplines such as medicine, pathology, anthropology,  histology, or entomology.  This book is versatile enough to appeal to  scholars of logic, crime scene investigation, creative writers, and even  the novice reader of nonfiction as well as fictional crime stories.  It  could easily be used as a supplemental text in many academic disciplines.   As a skilled forensic investigator, the author creatively shares an inside  view in his book into a macabre world many people cannot even begin to  imagine.
