The Case of the Green River Killer. By Diane Yancey. Detroit, Mich.: Lucent Books Thomson Gale, 2007. 1 vol. 104 p. $31.20. ISBN 10: 1-59018-955-6; ISBN 13: 978-1-59018-995-9.

Students who regularly watch "Cold Case Files" on television will learn how a real cold case was solved. This case traces the 20-year saga of law enforcement officers who were able to find the killer only when they used new DNA technology. It further points out how negotiations are made between a criminal and lawyers to get further information. This will be of interest to many students who need a little reality to check what they see nightly watching television.
