All That Remains

''Utterly gripping'' - The Guardian ''Fascinating'' - The Sunday Times ''Moving'' - Scotsman ''Engrossing'' - Financial Times Sue Black confronts death every day. As a Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster. In All That Remains she reveals the many faces of death she has come to know, using key cases to explore how forensic science has developed, and examining what her life and work has taught her. Do we expect a book about death to be sad? Macabre? Sue''s book is neither. There is tragedy, but there is also humour in stories as gripping as the best crime novel.
