This is Bill Bass's "Body Farm," where nature takes its course as bodies buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, or locked in car trunks serve the needs of science and the cause of justice. <p/>In <i>Death's Acre</i>, Bass invites readers on an unprecedented journey behind the gates of the Body Farm where he revolutionized forensic anthropology. A master scientist and an engaging storyteller, Bass reveals his most intriguing cases for the first time. He revisits the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, explores the mystery of a headless corpse whose identity astonished police, divulges how the telltale traces of an insect sent a murderous grandfather to death row--and much more. <p/>INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Bill Bass</b>, a legend in forensic circles, has assisted with hundreds of cases for the FBI and numerous other law-enforcement agencies.
