Originally written in Malayalam this book is translated by Priya K. Nair and this is truly one of the best translated works I have read so far. You don't need to be a forensics expert to understand the cases because the author and the translator have done their job brilliantly in explaining the medical terms and procedures. I absolutely loved this book.
