About This Item
Perseus Publishing, 2001. Uncorrected Page Proofs 8vo size trade paperback; 259 pages. This advance reading copy does not contain an index, which would have been present in the final book. From back: "...outside the fictional world of murder mysteries, time-of-death determination have remained infamously elusive, bedeviling forensic pathologists throughout history... plants, chemicals, and insects found near the body are turning out to be the fiercest weapons in our crime-fighting arsenal... Corpse is the fascinating story of the 2000-year-old search to pinpoint time of death. It is also the terrible and beautiful story of what happens to our bodies when we die." Very light wear and soil to covers, there is some very light transfer on back cover and bottom of spine where book came into contact with another book that left trace color behind (how cool is that on a forensics book!) and some very light shelf soil on bottom. . Trade Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Uncorrected Proof.
