B&T lists this as non-fiction for ages 9-11, a local library put it in their teen section. I agree with B&T but I can see why the teen section as many might just be getting serious about what they want to do for a career. I recommend this book for anyone looking into forensic/police as a career option.
There is a lot of information about what it takes to crack cold cases. It talks about fingerprinting, blood analysis, DNA, and other things. Different jobs in the field are described and even what kind of education is needed. It's a very good book.
