Non, un médecin légiste n'est pas – seulement – cet homme en blouse blanche, plongeant dans les entrailles du corps humain, le disséquant, le découpant de part en part pour en extirper les derniers secrets. Un légiste est aussi un enquêteur des plus redoutables, capable au premier coup d'œil, dès la scène de crime, de confondre un assassin, de débusquer le meurtre quand on crie au suicide, de reconstituer le scénario d'une tragédie sanglante, capable encore, sans dégainer son scalpel, de repérer l'enfant ou la femme maltraités, abusés.

In 1931, San Diego's idyllic image as a beach town with peaceful suburbs concealed a harrowing reality: a series of unsolved crimes targeting women, fueling fear and vulnerability. Monsters on the Loose tells the tragic and true stories of three women murdered early that year: Virginia Brooks, Louise Teuber, and Hazel Bradshaw. Local law enforcement, out-of-town criminologists, and investigators from what would become the FBI pursued hundreds of leads. Yet, the killer(s) were never identified and brought to justice.

This is not CSI. What you encounter as a true bomb detective-or "Bomb Doctor," as some in the FBI call me-are fields of twisted metal containing soot-covered fragments intermingled with human remains. You have carnage and chaos. As you wade into that sea of wailing sirens and screaming survivors awash with the stench of diesel fuel and decaying bodies, your job is to ferret out forensic clues in a type of macabre scavenger hunt to ultimately reconstruct the scene and the explosive device and determine what happened and what the bomb looked like before it was torn asunder.
