"A rich and varied tale of a forensic entomologist who has solved many a murder mystery by dating the insects found on the corpse . . . [it] would make a superb TV series." —Colin Wilson, Literary Review Nominated for the Crime Writers of America Gold Dagger Award Forensic entomology, as everyone who watches C.S.I. knows, is the application of insect biology to the investigation of crime. Dr. Zakaria Erzinclioglu, one of the leading international experts in the field, describes his own high-profile real-life cases of murder and mayhem, and compares his crime-solving techniques with those of his fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes. "In Maggots, Murder, and Men , Erzinclioglu tells a fascinating and anecdotal story, and tells it with humanity." —P. D. James, The Sunday Times (London) "Captivating . . . just the sort of thing to brighten a mystery buff's day." — Kirkus Reviews "As much a page-turner as a vintage Christie." — St. Petersburg Times "Fascinating . . . reads like a casebook for Sherlock Holmes . . . riveting." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
