The Quick and the Dead

From the number-one bestselling author of The Cause of Death comes a book about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and often tragic ways humans meet their demise.

A dead body without a trace of trauma, alien parasites, worms of the brain, crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders … In The Quick and the Dead, pathologist and self-confessed death aficionado Dr Cynric Temple-Camp takes readers into a world of disease and death as he seeks answers for those who were unlucky and those still alive to tell the tale.

Ideal for readers interested in true crime.
