Kansas City Crime Lab is one of Julie Miller’s more recent series, running from 2021’s K-9 Patrol through 2023. The books shift focus from detectives and patrol officers to the forensic science side of Kansas City law enforcement, which gives the series a different point of entry into the city’s crime fiction world Miller has built over two decades.

The four books each center on a lab specialist or crime scene investigator whose work on a case puts them in direct contact with threat, moving the investigation from the precinct to the evidence room.
