I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.

Hello, i'm an amateur writer, but i like to be as detailed as possible. Is a snapped broken neck easily spotted on a murdered victim? What would that injury look like, swelling on the neck area, bruising? And where exactly? Thank you.
