Death Up Close
La mort en face
On behalf of: Kennes les 3 As
A forensic pathologist and professor of criminology for more than thirty years, Dr. Philippe Boxho is the #1 bestselling author of What the Dead Have to Say and Conversation with a Corpse—books which have open the doors to the fascinating world of forensic medicine.
He returns to us with his third book, Death Up Close, which reveals even more incredible real-life stories.
From the mystery surrounding Napoleon’s death, and the farmer who was drowned by her husband in a milk vat, to the dangers of murderous hashish or alcohol, he plunges us deeper than ever behind the scenes of investigations into accidental deaths, suicides and murders, from the most famous to the most confidential.
Reviews
“Miniature tragedies cram the pages of the books of the Belgian forensic pathologist Philippe Boxho, and explain why his bestsellers are at numbers one, two and three of France’s nonfiction charts: they are macabre but also darkly comic and, above all, true.”—The Guardian
