Blaze: The Forensics of Fire

From Library Journal - In this new work, journalist and television writer Faith looks at fire and arson investigators as well as their investigations. Drawing on both research and a series of interviews he conducted, he chronicles how fires are investigated and examines such large fires as the one that consumed Las Vegas' MGM Grand Hotel in 1980, killing 84 people and injuring 679..
