People lie. Handwriting doesn’t.
For nearly sixty years, court-qualified forensic handwriting expert Sheila Lowe has examined the intimate marks people leave behind: signatures on wills and contracts, anonymous letters, suicide notes, threatening messages, journals, and countless other questioned documents. In Case Files of a Forensic Handwriting Expert, Lowe opens her files to share the fascinating, disturbing, funny, and occasionally surreal experiences that shaped her extraordinary career. Part professional memoir, part true-crime casebook, this candid collection takes readers behind the scenes of murder trials, celebrity controversies, television interviews, and courtroom battles where a few strokes of ink could carry life-changing consequences. Lowe recounts her involvement in cases connected with the O.J. Simpson trial, German conman “Clark Rockefeller,” the anthrax attacks, John Travolta, Jeffrey Epstein, and lesser-known disputes involving forged wills, fabricated suicide notes, insurance fraud, inheritance battles, and anonymous threats.
