Hardback. Condition: Good. Clay and Bones follows Lisa Bailey's extraordinary career as an FBI forensic artist, from the aftermath of 9/11 to sculpting the faces of the unidentified dead, while battling the Bureau's entrenched culture of sexism and retaliation. Just two months after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Lisa Bailey began her career as an FBI forensic artist. She threw herself into the work, and over the next eighteen years handled hundreds of cases: unidentified remains pulled from shallow graves, sexual assaults, acts of terrorism, and kidnappings. She became a recognized authority in facial approximation from the skull, witnessing firsthand how her sculptures could restore a victim's identity and bring closure to grieving families. But even in those early days, Bailey noticed cracks in the Bureau's polished image. She'd heard stories of women who reported harassment or discrimination only to find themselves quietly dismissed. She wanted to believe the rumors weren't true . . . then it happened to her. Now, Bailey breaks her silence in this raw, eye-opening account. She takes readers behind the scenes of the Bureau's most haunting cases, from mass disasters to cold-case homicides, and exposes the hidden toll of a career inside one of the world's most powerful law enforcement agencies. She describes the painstaking art of restoring a face from an unknown victim's skull, the profound relief of a confirmed identification, and the eerie reality of working among the dead at the University of Tennessee's famed "Body Farm." Told with candor, grit, and dark humor, Clay and Bones offers a rare glimpse into the macabre yet meaningful world of forensic art, and the resilience of a woman who refused to be silenced by the very institution she served.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Told with unflinching honesty and a touch of gallows humour, Clay and Bones is the personal memoir of the first female forensic sculptor in the FBI. Lisa Bailey never considered a career working in death until she saw the FBI job posting for a forensic artist. The idea of using her artistic skill to help victims of crime was too compelling to pass up. Soon she was documenting crime scenes, photographing charred corpses, and digitally retouching the disembodied heads of suicide bombers. But it was facial approximation sculpting a face from the remnants of an unidentified victim's skull that intrigued her the most. Bailey knew that if she could capture that person's likeness in clay, she just might help them be identified, and that might help law enforcement track down their killer. Bailey worked on hundreds of cases and grew to become a subject matter expert in the field. It was the most challenging and fulfilling work she could have imagined, and she never thought of leaving. But her life changed when she became the target of sexual discrimination and harassment. She was stunned when FBI management protected the abusers and retaliated with threats, slander, and an arsenal of lawyers. Trapped in an increasingly hostile work environment, and infuriated at the hypocrisy of the FBI's tactics, Bailey decided to fight back. Clay and Bones is a memoir with a mission, and a fascinating exploration into the surreal and satisfying work of a forensic artist. Told with unflinching honesty and a touch of gallows humour, Clay and Bones is the personal memoir of the first female forensic sculptor in the FBI.

Hardback. Condition: New. Whenever Lisa Bailey sees a particularly striking person, she wonders, "What is going on under their skin?" It all started after Bailey took the FBI's Forensic Facial Imaging Course and was introduced to facial approximation. Her fascination was instantaneous. As the only female forensic sculptor in the FBI, Bailey re-created the faces of unidentified homicide victims from their skulls. She worked on hundreds of cases and grew to become a subject matter expert in the field. The job was just as incredible as it sounds, and she loved every moment of it. Her life changed when new supervisors began subjecting her to extreme sexual discrimination and harassment. Her casework was sabotaged; she was berated in front of coworkers, cyber-stalked, slandered, and threatened physically. When the FBI ignored her repeated appeals for help, Bailey filed an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint. What followed was six years of retaliation. Ultimately, it was ruled that the FBI had discriminated against Bailey, but the men responsible escaped unscathed. Bailey came to believe that it was her obligation to speak up to expose the culture of discrimination and reprisal and help other women to protect themselves.Told with unflinching honesty and a touch of gallows humor, Clay and Bones is a memoir with a mission, and a fascinating exploration into the surreal and satisfying work of a forensic artist.…
