Case Files of a Handwriting Expert

People lie. Handwriting doesn’t.Handwriting expert Sheila Lowe takes you behind the scenes in a candid collection of murder trials, celebrity controversies, television interviews, corporate assignments, and courtroom battles 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, postcards, journals, and countless other questioned documents. Sometimes the handwriting helped expose a lie. Sometimes it supported someone who had been wrongly accused. And sometimes the most honest answer was, 'It cannot be determined.'In Case Files of a Forensic Handwriting Expert, Lowe opens her files to share the fascinating, disturbing, funny, and occasionally surreal experiences that have 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, corporate assignments, 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 many lesser-known disputes involving forged wills, fabricated suicide notes, insurance fraud, inheritance battles, and anonymous threats.Engaging, revealing, and laced with dry humor, Case Files of a Forensic Handwriting Expert is ultimately about more than ink on paper. It is about the human beings behind the evidence-their hopes, fears, secrets, motives, and lies-and one woman’s lifelong determination to uncover the truth..
