Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead

Zombie CSU is nonfiction pop-culture that brings together two of the most popular themes in current entertainment: crime scene investigation and zombies. The book includes short interviews and essays on the step-by-step procedures used by forensics experts and law enforcement agencies to address an outbreak of the living dead. Though the premise is certainly fantastical, the book’s core information is hard science and accurate investigative techniques, beginning with the first-on-scene police, through the CSU phase, then into speculation on how Federal authorities would deal with a potential plague, especially if the basis for zombies was biological in nature (a bacteria or other disease vector to be determined) and what steps would be taken to keep this out of the hands of terrorists. Using a “what if?” approach, the book includes interviews, comments, FAQs and Q&As with actual scientists, crime scene investigators, pathologists, medical doctors, psychologists, physicists, etc.
