Overview

The killer left the room, but he left something behind. A reflection. In the chaotic aftermath of a violent crime, detectives look for fingerprints, DNA, and weapons. But sometimes, the most damning evidence is the one thing that cannot be erased: the silent testimony of the mirror. Mirror Crimes is a chilling and fascinating exploration of the intersection between optics, psychology, and cold-blooded murder. Jack S. Martin takes you inside the crime scenes where glass witnesses held the key to the truth. From the distorted perceptions of eyewitnesses to the forensic breakthroughs that allow us to ""see"" what a mirror saw, this book shatters the illusion that crimes can ever truly be hidden. Inside this reflection on the darker side of human nature, you will find: The Silent Witness: True stories of cases cracked by reflections captured in photographs, sunglasses, and even the human eye. The Psychology of Perception: How our brains distort what we see in the mirror, leading to false identifications and fatal errors. The Bloody Looking-Glass: The history of mirrors as weapons, tools of deception, and the centerpiece of gruesome rituals. Forensic Optics: The cutting-edge science used to reconstruct crime scenes from the fragmented views of broken glass. It hangs on the wall, a silent observer. It sees the rage, the fear, and the final moments. Mirror Crimes invites you to look closer at the glass-because sometimes, the truth is staring right back at you.
