I picked up Mr. Summit's latest book because his other crime books have been great reads, and I knew "They Almost Got Away with It" would be no different.  It is indeed fantastic, with a thorough and well-explained introduction to DNA, and how it is used to put the guilty in prison and free those wrongly accused. He presents very thought-provoking arguments both for and against the collection of DNA before a criminal conviction has even been rendered. Preventing future crimes versus infringing on personal rights is sure to be a hot topic issue in the future. As someone who has a degree in Forensic Science, I found the information extremely accurate and laid out well.The individual stories of these serial killers was a well-documented and chilling look into their depraved minds and serves to remind us that some people aren't always what they seem. I can't recommend this book enough, especially to all crime junkies.
