From the people who bring you the great True Detective magazine full of lurid tales of real life crime, True Detective Special is a collection of the very best stories from True Detective and is published 2-4 times a year.

This great special edition magazine offers some fascinating insights into a huge number of real-life cases in the UK and worldwide, bringing you the strangest, cruellest and most brutal cases along with the methods used to solve them, and a few that remain unanswered. Full of fascinating tales of murder, theft and intrigue, this magazine pulls no punches in its covering of terrible and tragic crimes both recent and from further in the past.

Buy a single copy of TRUE DETECTIVE SPECIAL or a subscription of your desired length, delivered worldwide. Current issues sent same day up to 3pm! All magazines sent by 1st Class Mail UK & by Airmail worldwide (bar UK over 750g which may go 2nd Class).

The slightly gruesome fascination that causes us to be hugely interested in the kind of stories featured in both True Detective and the True Detective Specials can be hard to explain. We know we shouldn’t really want to read about terrible things but we all are secretly intrigued; it is the same reason why everyone slows down to try and get a look at a car crash – we know that we shouldn’t but we are unavoidably drawn to it.

This fascination with crime and the solving of it has lead to a whole raft of police procedural shows in recent years that have had a focus on the forensics. Whilst in the past cop shows have focused on the investigators, there are now shows such as CSI and its New York and Miami counterparts, Bones and NCIS that give significant attention to the forensic technicians. We are unendingly interested in bullet hole, blood splatter, DNA and fingerprints for some rather hard to explain reason.

One interesting side-effect of the popularity of such shows is that there are far more people studying forensics than there are relevant jobs. Oh well, as long as they don’t end up murdering anyone just to prove their skills are useful… although that would make a great story for True Detective. NB
