Fearless memoir of a forensic pathologist's rookie season as a NYC medical examiner, and the cases that shaped her as both a physician and mother.
T. J. Mitchell Books
For San Francisco's newest medical examiner, Dr. Jessie Teska, it was supposed to be a fresh start. A new job in a new city. A way to escape her own dark past. Instead she faces a chilling discovery when an opioid-overdose case contains hints of something more sinister. Jessie's superiors urge her to close the case, but as more bodies land on her autopsy table, she uncovers a constellation of deaths that point to an elaborate plot involving drug dealers and Bitcoin brokers. Drawing on her real-life experiences as a forensics expert, Judy Melinek teams up with husband T.J. Mitchell to deliver the most exhilarating mystery of the year. Autopsy means "see for yourself," and Jessie Teska won't stop until she has seen it all--even if it means that the next corpse on the table could be her own.
Roky bylo soudní lékařství tabu. Oběti vražd, těla v rozkladu - koho by podobné věci zajímaly? Pak ale přišly seriály jako CSI: Kriminálka Las Vegas a z forenzních patologů se staly hvězdy. Jaká je jejich práce doopravdy? Jak se vyrovnávají se smrtí? Přesvědčivý obraz o skutečném životě mezi mrtvými podává Judy Melinek. Prvotřídní soudní lékařka s talentem pro psaní memoárů.
