Book description
Despite advances in DNA testing, forensics, and the investigative
skills used by police, hundreds of crimes remain unsolved across
Canada. With every passing day trails grow colder and decades can pass
before a new lead or witness comes forward if one comes forward.
In Unsolved, Robert J. Hoshowsky examines twelve crimes
that continue to haunt us. Some cases are well-known, while others
have virtually disappeared from the public eye. All of the cases
remain open, and many are being re-examined by police using the latest
tools and technology. Hoshowsky takes the reader through all aspects
of the crimes and how police are trying to solve them using
three-dimensional facial reconstructions, DNA testing, age-enhanced
drawings, original crime scene photos, and more.
None of the individuals profiled in Unsolved deserved their
fate, but their stories deserve to be told and their killers need to
be brought to justice.
Hoshowsky is a good writer. His prose, which is of a very high
caliber, flows smoothly, almost in poetic fashion, with the result that
Unsolved
is very hard to put down.
