[Review for previous edition] Although her explanations are
clinical, Ferllini yet possesses the ability to communicate the
solace that the forensic anthropologist's closure can provide to
loved ones and to society at large ... Exciting application of
science will hook even reluctant readers; does include graphic
crime descriptions.-- "Booklist" (8/1/2002 12:00:00 AM)

in both text and photographs the techniques and cases involved,
