Dr Bill Bass’ work, and in particular his Anthropology Research Facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, known as the Body Farm, has furthered forensic anthropology and made it possible to prove from the discovery of a skeleton, no matter how long since death, how and when death occurred and to who the body belonged. In this memoir, Bass, with co-author Jon Jefferson, details the most memorable cases from his career, including cold cases he has solved and several cases he has been able to revisit throughout his career as new techniques have become possible and scientific discoveries made.
