Conversations with the Dead - Philippe Boxho

From international runaway bestselling author and pathologist Dr. Philipe Boxho, the secrets and stories of forensic medicine from his career examining the dead and appreciating what that reveals about life.

“Hello, Doctor? We have a problem.”

The dead can speak…if you know how to listen. And renowned Belgian forensic pathologist Dr. Philippe Boxho certainly does. During his long career spanning more than thirty years, he has been called to examine over 4,000 bodies. Now he shares some of his most memorable, chilling, and often morbidly funny stories.

In Conversations with the Dead, he takes us to crime scenes where bodies disappear, murders are covered up, suicides reveal surprises, and the dead aren’t always as dead as we think. Exploring a range of fatal causes—some brutal, some accidental, and others cruelly mundane—Dr. Boxho shows us the science behind his quest to uncover the truth.

Gripping, surprising, at times humorous and deeply moving, Conversations with the Dead offers readers a glimpse into the darkest recesses of the human psyche, and reveals the universal threads of life that make us human.
