The Darkroom

Case Files of a Scotland Yard Forensic Photographer
A remarkably gripping and moving account of a life as a Scotland Yard crime scene photographer

It was my job to look and look and never look away, until I had captured every part of the scene, until I had told the story of those last moments that the dead could not.

For years, A.J. Hewitt was the first person into a crime scene. Before the detectives and the forensics team it was her alone with the body, the only sound her flashes firing as they lit up scenes of unimaginable horror. It was her job to shoot the photographs that revealed the circumstances of someone's final moments.

Now in her debut book, The Darkroom, Hewitt takes us into the shadowy world of the crime scene photographer, and recounts remarkable tales, from murders to suicides, accidents to assassinations.

In the tradition of Unnatural Causes, When the Dogs Don't Bark and All That Remains, this is a true crime book full of the wisdom that can be found in the darkness.
