Murder Under the Microscope
'Jim Fraser has been at the forefront of forensic science in the UK for decades... A superb story of real-life CSI.' Dr Richard Shepherd, bestselling author of Unnatural Causes 'Powerful... Fascinating' Independent Most murders are not difficult to solve.

Last of The Blackfolders
Jim Fraser was born and brought up in Blackfold high in the hills above Loch Ness. The Last of the Blackfolders recounts a life immersed in family stories and community folklore. The author chronicles the various characters that featured in the daily life of this crofting community. He shares these stories and legends, and sometimes strange happenings in this scattered rural community. From his Jacobite ancestor's 16th Century wedding dress and his grandmother's second sight to his family involvement in two world wars, his poignant reminiscences are engaging and moving. A delightful biography set in a bygone era never to return. " ........ Freda Newton MBE, Loch Ness by Jacobite
Murder Under the Microscope
How is murder investigated and what role does forensic science play in solving cases? In this book Jim Fraser gives a unique insight into forensic science and examines in detail some of the UK's most high-profile murder investigations in recent decades, including the deaths of Rachel Nickell, Damilola Taylor and Gareth Williams the GCHQ code breaker. Drawing on his personal experience as a forensic scientist and cold case reviewer, Fraser reveals how each of these cases unfolded as a human, investigative and scientific puzzle, and how some were solved and why others remain unsolved or controversial even today.
