Character Research

Okay, a bunch of you are crime drama and real crime literature nuts. I'm playing a Kitsuki Investigator (detective) in my l5r larp. Can any of you recommend any entertaining books on forensic investigation? Many thanks.

Edit: Preferably non-fiction. Thanks.

I hurt

I had a tryout with a new potential partner last night. As with most such tryouts, we went to a social dance. Now this was all kinds of fun. It's been a long time since I had a partner where I could really dance all-out, stretching every last bit of technique out of each step (including a not-inconsiderable amount of literal stretching), to say nothing of doing my advanced steps. It was amazingly fun. The problem, however, is that I haven't danced that hard for that long in nearly fifteen months (the last time I went to an Arthur Murray professional dance social). Dear Lord, I am sore, I am tired, and I really, really hope this partnership works.
