Title: The Bone Lady
Description: The riveting tale of a true-life crime-fighting scientific sleuth.

When a skeleton is all that's left to tell the story of a crime, Mary Manhein, otherwise known as "the bone lady," is called in. For almost two decades, Manhein has used her expertise in forensic anthropology to help law enforcement agents - locally, nationally, and internationally - solve their most perplexing mysteries. In this eerie book she shares the extraordinary details of the often high-profile cases on which she works, and the science underlying her analyses. Here are the fascinating details of how, from a pile of bones, she assesses age, sex, race, signs of trauma, and time of death, and how she can even use clay to re-create a face.

Written with the compassion and humor of a born storyteller, The Bone Lady is an unforgettable glimpse into the lab where one scientist works to reveal the human stories behind the remains.
