From the 1970s to the early 1990s, New York City was seen, justifiably, as out of control. The city approached bankruptcy, the subways were covered with graffiti, and murders were at a record high. Right-wing fearmongering and vigilante justice were countered by liberal pleas to end poverty and provide drug treatment—none of which happened. Then, in a surprising break from the past, new NYPD leadership decided to focus on crime. Between 1993 and 1996, New York City's murder numbers were cut in half, dropping to under 1,000 for the first time in decades.

Non, un médecin légiste n'est pas – seulement – cet homme en blouse blanche, plongeant dans les entrailles du corps humain, le disséquant, le découpant de part en part pour en extirper les derniers secrets. Un légiste est aussi un enquêteur des plus redoutables, capable au premier coup d'œil, dès la scène de crime, de confondre un assassin, de débusquer le meurtre quand on crie au suicide, de reconstituer le scénario d'une tragédie sanglante, capable encore, sans dégainer son scalpel, de repérer l'enfant ou la femme maltraités, abusés.
