It all started with a body.
A man in his fifties, well-known in courtrooms, found lying on his back in a sleek glass office. Dark suit, slightly crooked tie, a bullet straight to the chest. Nothing seemed out of place… except for the silence. That heavy kind of silence that lingers when something just doesn't add up. When a crime scene speaks—only its words are blurred.
I wasn't supposed to be there.
That case wasn't mine.
But in this profession, some cases don't need to be assigned—they find you.
And once they do, it's almost impossible to let them go.
My name is Santiago Del Valle.
I'm a legal forensic examiner. Not a cop. Not a prosecutor. My world lies between cold flesh and written law.
I work with what most people avoid—wounds, tissue, dried blood, bullet trajectories.
You won't hear my voice in court, but my reports can decide the fate of a verdict.
I've worked with everyone: defense lawyers, prosecutors, victims, criminals—even the innocent ones already labeled guilty.
Over the years, I've learned one harsh truth: in the legal world, the truth is often subjective.
A truth without proof means nothing. And a lie, when dressed in the right suit and backed by money, can look a lot like justice.
I've seen falsified reports.
Evidence that vanished without a trace.
Witnesses who were bought like stocks on the market.
And all of it happened under the same roof where justice is supposed to live.
This book is a reconstruction.
Not fiction.
Not a confession.
Just a view from the inside. A series of cases that left marks—on victims, on files, and on me.
Each chapter reveals a piece.
A crime that never made headlines.
A name that no one dared to mention.
A body that spoke when no one else could.
Prepare yourself to step into a world where science collides with law.
Where truth is fragile, and justice is rarely pure.
Where the gray areas swallow everything.
Because once you open your eyes…
There's no going back.
And now—it's your turn to see.
