Description
Do you enjoy detective novels and crime series but wonder how investigations actually proceed? This book by Belgian forensic pathologist and respected expert Philippe Boxho offers a guide to a profession made famous by books and television yet little understood in reality. Boxho shows that forensic medicine can be a surprisingly amusing and fascinating science, even though it deals with sad subjects. Rather than offering a dry, heavy-handed explanation, he presents each topic through engaging, sometimes bizarre but always true stories from his extensive practice. Readers learn that flies are not merely unwelcome visitors in our homes but also useful assistants in investigating deaths; what can happen to the body after death; how to uncover a murder disguised as suicide; and why stories about poisoners now belong mainly to novels. The book also reveals that not every apparently dead person is necessarily dead, that even a seemingly perfect crime has a flaw, and that anyone with a guilty conscience should perhaps avoid alcohol.
