It was mentioned that several episodes of the podcast covered this book about a forensic scientist and his cases, including the Allene Lamson case, which was described as a 'gossipy' and 'hefty' case.
So there are several episodes from the podcast that cover my second book, which was called American Sherlock.
And that book was about a forensic scientist and he had all of these amazing cases that made history.

It's about essentially the first forensic scientist, criminologist in America.
