Bestselling author Michael Capuzzo relays the story of The Murder Room, a place where forensic experts meet monthly to solve a cold case.
Named after the first detective – Eugene Francois Vidocq – the Vidocq Society was created by three of the world's greatest detectives, William Fleisher, Frank Bender and Richard Walter. These men, a renowned former FBI agent, a forensic sculptor and an eccentric profiler known as 'the living Sherlock Holmes', also recruited the finest collection of forensic minds ever assembled, drawn from five continents, for this society.
Some of the cases they have worked on include a murderer who carves off faces, and a child killer who roamed free for 50 years.
