Crimetime Book Club: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

Dead Men Do Tell Tales by Dr. William Maples and Michael Browning

From skeletal fragments like a skull, or a burnt thighbone, renowned forensic anthropologist Dr. William Maples can determine a victim's age, gender, ethnicity, cause of death, and even the killer's identity. In Dead Men Do Tell Tales, Dr. Maples shares his most fascinating and chilling investigations, revealing how bones speak truths that witnesses cannot. His cases span centuries and continents, from Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro to Vietnam War MIAs, from the mysterious death of President Zachary Taylor to the tragic fate of Czar Nicholas II's family. These fascinating tales demonstrate how modern forensic science solves history's greatest mysteries.
