`Trace of Evil' explores and reconstructs some of the most interesting and startling criminal cases from the UK, Ireland, the United States and Canada of the past twenty years. Detectives and law enforcers used to rely on a tool-kit consisting of a magnifying glass, a fingerprint dusting kit, and instinct developed from years of experience, in order to crack a case. In contemporary times, the twenty-first century investigator has an arsenal of modern techniques at their disposal. When crime happens, it always leaves a trace, and `Trace of Evil' takes a closer look without having to resort to the use of a magnifying glass.
