The Silence of the Dead: How to Stop Them Taking Their Secrets to the Grave

The morgue is not a place for grief—it is a place where forensic experts live, work, and communicate with judges, investigators, and criminalistics specialists. This book is not just entertaining reading. Its author, forensic expert Filip Bokso, gathered real, astonishing cases from his medical practice that will make you laugh, cry, and be shocked. “It’s important for me to find traces and evidence—those elements that allow, for the last time, to give the dead a voice and hear what they need to tell us,” the author writes. Filip Bokso is a forensic expert with more than 30 years of experience. He describes his everyday work in the morgue, tells about mysterious disappearances of corpses, and about shocking ways to conceal murders. Here you will learn about:
— suicide using two different firearms;
— a child who died because his parents didn’t pay him proper attention;
— the bodies of a mother and her little son found in a freezer;
— a series of ridiculous deaths among drug addicts caused by a minor theft.
