Publisher Description

In this clear-eyed, gritty, and enthralling narrative, Dr. Vincent Di Maio and veteran crime writer Ron Franscell guide us behind the morgue doors to tell a fascinating life story through the cases that have made DiMaio famous--from the exhumation of assassin Lee Harvey Oswald to the complex issues in the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

Beginning with his street-smart Italian origins in Brooklyn, the book spans 40 years of work and more than 9,000 autopsies, and Di Maio's eventual rise into the pantheon of forensic scientists. One of the country's most methodical and intuitive criminal pathologists will dissect himself, maintaining a nearly continuous flow of suspenseful stories, revealing anecdotes, and enough macabre insider details to rivet the most fervent crime fans.

Fascinating Read

An amazing inside look into some of the most high profile deaths. I will admit that I am not a forensic science buff. A friend recommended this book as an interesting read, and it certainly is. I learned so much about the forensic field, that I found myself googling which counties still had coroners and which ones had medical examiners. Some of the cases are hard to read because of the sensitive nature, but the author puts together the puzzle pieces in a remarkable way. I would definitely recommend to those who love forensics, criminal mysteries, and true crime.
