Overview

The heart-wrenchingly honest and fascinating new book from forensic pathologist and bestselling author of UNNATURAL CAUSES, Dr Richard ShepherdEnlightening, strangely uplifting . . . Shepherds final chapter on death itself is a meditation of great beauty and light which puts all the darkness of the previous pages into perspective DAILY MAILLife-enhancing DAILY TELEGRAPHDeeply insightful. Unflinching THE TIMESFascinating DAILY EXPRESSThis book is about death, but in it I will take readers on a journey through life . . ._________Dr Richard Shepherd, Britains top forensic pathologist, has spent a lifetime close to the dead.As a medical detective, each autopsy he carries out is its own unique investigation, uncovering the secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how they lived.Through twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and never-before-told cases, Dr Shepherd shares autopsies that span the seven ages of human existence, and have taught him as much about the marvels of life as the inevitability of death.From old to young, from murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each of these bodies has something to reveal: about human development, about mortality, about its owners life story, about justice and even about Shepherd himself.From the bestselling author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving and above all reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to understand it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to embrace it as the last great adventure._________He has the ability to examine himself and other people with the same forensic eye that he applies to corpses - one of the reasons why his books feel so life-enhancing Daily TelegraphPraise for Dr Richard ShepherdGripping, grimly fascinating, and I suspect Ill read it at least twice Evening StandardA deeply mesmerising memoir of forensic pathology.
