Annie Biotica stars in this series as a Disease Scene Investigator. In each title, Biotica walks us through one of the body systems. Five cases in which the back story and symptoms of diseases attributed to that system are presented. We see conditions setting up disease contraction, clues, suspects, evidence, tests, verdict, and justice. The justice section is often sobering, as not all of the patients survive. Additional appeal of the series is found in You solve the case which provides opportunity for students to immediately apply learning.
