A gripping memoir by one of the UK's most prominent and experienced pathologists. His work has turned cases on their heads and put murderers behind bars. But his obsession with trying to learn what the dead are telling us began in medical school during his first autopsy. Holding the heart of the patient in his hands, he thought of his late mother, who'd died young from coronary heart disease. He wanted to help the living by learning about death. And, in the case of his criminal work, he wanted to see justice. Intelligent, insightful, chilling - sometimes bizarre - and always unputdownable, Unnatural Causes is the true crime book of the year from an expert who's opening his records and sharing his casebook for the first time. sakriti opis
