Mirror Crimes: When Reflections Become Evidence

Mirror Crimes is an investigation into a unique and unsettling corner of forensics where reflections become key pieces of evidence. The book explores how investigators analyze reflections from various surfaces—from a shattered mirror at a crime scene to the victim's own eye—to solve crimes. It delves into both the science of analyzing distorted or fragmented reflections and the psychology of how criminals interact with their own image during a crime. The author presents several case studies, including how a faint smudge on a mirror, a ghost-like image on a darkened TV screen, and even the "eerie, glowing eyes of a housecat" have helped solve murders. The book ultimately serves as a guide to "reflective awareness," encouraging readers to understand the hidden information in the world around them.
