Publisher's Synopsis
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 seven 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.
