About this book

On a wooded hillside in Tennessee blowflies, bacteria and buzzards feast on human flesh, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. The bodies are buried in shallow graves, submerged in tanks of water, locked in the boots and backseats of cars. They are serving the needs of science in the cause of justice.
