A murder mystery, set in Hawaii, starring an entomologist? Sounds too good to
be true, but open A Fly for the Prosecution and ready yourself for
finding out which flies land on corpses within 10 minutes of death, and how many
days it takes their larvae to pupate. M. Lee Goff, one of the world’s handful of
forensic entomologists, helps to solve crimes by fixing—with remarkable
accuracy—times of death. An entertaining tale of blowflies and blister
beetles. Published by Harvard University Press in June, £14.50, ISBN
