Review:
"When he's not shattering myths about maggots, Dr. Maples is delightfully unraveling true murder mysteries, ancient and modern. He's not just another clever forensic detective -- he's a poet, a philosopher, and a sly commentator on the fractured human condition, pre-and post-mortem."-- Carl Hiaasen, author of "Strip Tease and "Native Tongue "Whether Maples' subjects are famous or anonymous, it is how he tells their stories that makes this book so fascinating and -- in its fashion -- delightful."--Jonathan Yardley, "Washington Post Book World "William R. Maples and Michael Browning could've written a dry clinical analysis of forensic anthropology; instead they tell tales better than the dead could for themselves."-- "New York Times Book Review "From the Trade Paperback edition.
About the Author:
William R. Maples was born in Dallas in 1937 and became a pioneer in the field of Forensic Anthropology. He earned respect internationally for his study of human skeletal material, and provided expertise in the identification of personnel missing or killed in action during WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam conflict. Shortly before being diagnosed with brain cancer in 1995, he supervised a team of scientists that identified the remains of the last Russian monarch, Czar Nicholas II, and his family. He died in 1997. Michael Browning is Southwest regional correspondent for the Miami Herald and lives in Tallahassee, Florida.
