Forensic Scientist
Forensic scientists solve mysteries using whatever tiny scraps of evidence they can find. They must be sharp-witted and quick on their feet in order to gather clues, often in a very limited time frame. Readers explore the world of forensic mysteries with scientists in the field, and find out how they can become a forensic scientist, too.
