Richard Shepherd Books

Through 24 intriguing, never-before-told cases, Britain's top forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd takes us on a journey through life in death. From old to young, murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each body can reveal something - about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, and even about Shepherd himself. This is a powerful, moving and above all reassuring book uncovering the secrets of death - how to understand it, postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to embrace it as the last great adventure

Dr Richard Shepherd is the UK's foremost forensic pathologist. At medical school, while performing his first autopsy, he held the heart of the patient in his hand and thought of his late mother, taken too early by heart disease. He became driven by the challenge of finding the truth, of seeing justice, and by compassion: sometimes for the dead, but always for those they have left behind

Exploring the timeless question of leadership, the book draws parallels between the challenges faced by the ancient "Judges" and those encountered in the modern era. It emphasizes that, despite cultural shifts, the core issues of the human heart remain unchanged. By examining the attitudes and responses of these historical figures, readers are invited to reflect on contemporary leadership dilemmas and the enduring quest for guidance. The work encourages learning from past successes and failures to navigate today's complex landscape of leadership.
