Description
This is a fascinating insider look at some of the most intriguing and shocking true crime investigations. With more than 56,000 cases in his professional resume, Dr Cyril Wecht is uniquely qualified to investigate deaths of a suspicious nature. In this fascinating book, he teams up with veteran true-crime reporter Dawn Kaufmann to describe the grisly and sometimes baffling circumstances surrounding 7 high-profile and little-known cases - from the JFK assassination, in which Wecht was the first civilian forensic pathologist to inspect the medical evidence, to the brutal murder of nine-year old Jessica Lunsford, whose case had cinematic medical and legal twists. With inside information on each of these crimes, Wecht and Kaufmann are well suited to escort readers through every stage of the investigation, proving reality is more riveting than anything even the best thriller writer could dream up.
