The human body is a silent witness to a death that has occurred—it hides nothing and always carries the truth within it. When death is sudden and inexplicable, Dr. Richard Sheppard will always find out the cause. Each autopsy is a separate detective story, and the author uses insight to solve the riddle in order to answer the most urgent question: how did this person die?
From a serial killer to a natural disaster—from an “ideal murder” to a monstrous accident, Dr. Sheppard is always chasing the truth. And although he was involved in the loudest cases of the last 20 years (the death of Princess Diana, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the USA), often the less well-known incidents turned out to be the most intriguing in the end.
