The idea of The Fingerprint Sourcebook originated during a meeting in April 2002. Individuals representing the fingerprint, academic, and scientific communities met in Chicago, Illinois, for a day and a half to discuss the state of fingerprint identification with a view toward the challenges raised by Daubert issues. The meeting was a joint project between the International Association for Identification (IAI) and West Virginia University (WVU). One recommendation that came out of that meeting was a suggestion to create a sourcebook for friction ridge examiners, that is, a single source of researched information regarding the subject. This sourcebook would provide educational, training, and research information for the international scientific community.

Stories of the Strange, Marvelous, and Supernatural Meet Nick Nightmare--hard-boiled private investigator who takes on the tough cases that make the cops, the FBI, and the CIA scatter for cover. In this first volume from his private files, Nick shoots, punches and quips his way through an outrageous world of crawling horrors, spawned by the Old Ones as they seek to rise up from their primordial oceanic depths, "when the stars are right." Whether he is shooting it out with power-crazed acolytes in his native New York, or slipping across into other dimensions to battle the spreading plague of invasion, Nick Nightmare is never far from the long, clammy reach of ultimate night. Encountering bizarre artifacts of power, decrepit villages and citadels, magic and voodoo, life for this private eye is an endless diet of madness and mayhem. Nick is accompanied by a host of weird characters, including the aging but still potent superhero team Vengeance Unlimited, the extraordinary Montifellini and his trans-dimensional Magic Bus, and the dazzling Ariadne Carnadine, a modern-day ninja nonpareil. Told in his own blunt, dry words, as transcribed faithfully by British Fantasy Award-winner Adrian Cole, Nick Nightmare Investigates is a potent blend of HPL, Mickey Spillane, and the roller-coaster adventures of the golden age of the pulps. "Adrian Cole is now at the height of his literary powers, and is currently producing the strongest work of his long career." --British Fantasy Society
