The best-selling writer was moved to dig deep after witnessing appalling practices during real-life investigations.

Cornwell, 51, says, "I've seen cops walk through blood. I've seen them leave their own fingerprints on a window. I've seen bloody clothing put in a plastic bag, so it decomposes.

"The money will go towards a Crime Scene Academy at Manhattan's John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
