Written with the compassion and humor of a born storyteller, this is an unforgettable glimpse into the lab where one forensic anthropologist works to reveal the human stories behind the remains.

When a skeleton is all that's left to tell the story of a crime, Mary H. Manhein, otherwise known as the bone lady, is called in. For almost two decades, Manhein has used her expertise in forensic pathology to help law enforcement agents--locally, nationally, and internationally--solve their most perplexing mysteries. She shares the extraordinary details of the often high-profile cases on which she works, and the science underlying her analyses. Here are Civil War skeletons, cases of alleged voodoo and witchcraft, crimes of political intrigue, and the before-and-after of facial reconstruction.
