Since the 1960s, testimony by representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in thousands of criminal cases has relied on evidence from Compositional Analysis of Bullet Lead (CABL), a forensic technique that compares the elemental composition of bullets found at a crime scene to the elemental composition of bullets found in a suspect’s possession.

Historical accounts say that Stonewall Jackson was accidentally killed by his own men at the battle of Chancellorsville. King, however, believes there is still room for speculation on this point. Could the North have been behind the loss of the South’s most successful general? "Espionage, romance, and history combine in an engrossing tale."--Library Journal.
