From a skeleton, a skull, a mere fragment of burnt thighbone, prominent forensic anthropologist Dr. William Maples can deduce the age, gender, and ethnicity of a murder victim, the manner in which the person was dispatched, and, ultimately, the identity of the killer.
In Dead Men Do Tell Tales, Dr. Maples revisits his strangest, most interesting, and most horrific investigations, from the baffling cases of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and Vietnam MIAs to the mysterious deaths of President Zachary Taylor and the family of Czar Nicholas II.
DIdn't ilek this quite as much as I thought I would, although it wasn't bad. Felt a little like I was being told the author's opinions a bit more than I would have liked, but the actual cases and info about Dr. Maples role in those caes was quite interesting. Especially the indentification of the last Tsar of Russia and his family.
