✦ Synopsis

Forensic dentistry; precise examination of ballistics; an expertise in apiology to identify the exact bee which killed the victim? 
The detective’s role may be simple; solve the case and catch the culprit, but when the crime is fiendishly well-executed the application of the scientific method may be the only answer. 
The detectives in this collection are masters of scientific deduction, employing principles of chemistry, the latest technological innovations and an irresistable logical brilliance in their pursuit of justice. With stories by early masters in the field such as Arthur Conan Doyle and L. T. Meade alongside fine-tuned mysteries from the likes of Edmund Crispin and Dorothy L. Sayers, The Measure of Malice collects tales of rational thinking to prove the power of the brain over villainous deeds.
