CRIME, forensics and bionics were all on the agenda at Salisbury High School when author Malcolm Rose paid a visit.

Mr Rose, who has written 37 novels for teenagers, ran a variety of sessions during the day, including one all about forensics and evidence.

His final sessions were based on his new book, Jordan Stryker Bionic Agent, and pupils were lucky enough to see a real bionic hand Mr Rose had on loan.

“He was able to demonstrate the intricate workings of the hand and how this had led him to write the book, which resulted in some very impressed pupils,” said a spokesman for the school.

“The day went very well and the children really enjoyed it.”
