About this title

From the Inside Flap:

quot;Sherlock Holmes of bones," Clyde Snow is a forensic anthropologist who solves murders with a tape measure and calipers. He has participated in some of the most sensational investigations of recent years, and WITNESSES FROM THE GRAVE is his engaging, engrossing story.

It was Clyde Snow who traveled to Brazil to examine the skeletal remains of the infamous and elusive Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. Snow also discovered intriguing new evidence about what lies beneath the battleground of Custer's Last Stand at Little Bighorn. He identified the victims of Illinois serial killer John Wayne Gacy, and he was the driving force in the tireless search for "the disappeared" from Argentina's "dirty war" of the 1970s.

More than an expertly spun scientific and political thriller, WITNESSES FROM THE GRAVE is a book of vital importance to anyone concerned with the issues of human rights, criminal justice, and the accuracy of our historical memory.
