About the product The human body is a silent witness to the death that happened, it does not hide anything and always carries the truth within itself. When death is sudden and inexplicable, Dr. Richard Shepherd is sure to find out the cause. Each autopsy is a separate detective story, and the author uses discernment to solve the puzzle to answer the most pressing question: how did this person die? From serial killer to natural disaster, from “perfect murder” to monstrous chance, Dr. Shepherd is always in pursuit of the truth. Although he was involved in some of the most high-profile cases of the 20th century (the death of Princess Diana, the 9/11 attacks), the often lesser-known cases ended up being the most intriguing.
