Dr Richard Shepherd, a medical detective and Britain''s top forensic pathologist, shares twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and never-before-told cases.
These autopsies, spanning the seven ages of human existence, uncover the secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how they lived.
From old to young, murder to misadventure, and illness to accidental death, each body has something to reveal - about its owner''s life story, how we age, justice, society, the certainty of death.
And, above all, the wonderful marvel of life itself.
