About the Author:
Professor Bernard Knight, CBE, became a Home Office Pathologist in 1965 and was appointed Professor of Forensic Pathology, University of Wales College of Medicine, in 1980. During his 40-year career with the Home Office, he performed over 25,000 autopsies, and was involved in many high profile cases, including that of Fred and Rose West (he examined all twelve bodies that were recovered) and the child killer, Mary Bell. The author of ten novels, a biography and numerous popular and academic non-fiction books, he has written six books in the Crowner John mystrey series.
Review:
“More adventure than mystery, Knight's tenth populates a detailed, almost scholarly study of the period with well–drawn characters.” -- Kirkus Reviews
Crowner John is a splendid character, full of imperfections and faults, but ultimately the triumphing hero. -- Evening Standard
Meaty and entertaining will appeal to Ellis Peters fans. -- Library Journal
