Poison and the case of Marie Lafarge 1840 and arsenic poisoning, ballistics and the jockey cap killer of PC Gutteridge 1927, fire and arson Gerald Lewis 1990 and how the rule book for fire investigation had to be re written and finally the stabbing of Joan Pearl Wolfe at the hands of her soldier boyfriend from 1943.
