The ‘if’ of death is certain. The ‘when’ is unknown. It is the ‘why’ that really gets people’s interest …
From a rare and deadly amniotic avalanche to a victim of roasted peanuts … The bestselling author of The Cause of Death and The Quick and the Dead returns with more stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and murder – as well as new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the trial of Mark Lundy, and the ill-fated journey of Ansett Flight 703.
