From a skeleton, a skull, a mere fragment of burnt thighbone, prominent forensic anthropologist Dr. William Maples can deduce the age, gender, and ethnicity of a murder victim, the manner in which the person was dispatched, and, ultimately, the identity of the killer.In Dead Men Do Tell Tales, Dr. Maples revisits his strangest, most interesting, and most horrific investigations, from the baffling cases of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and Vietnam MIAs to the mysterious deaths of President Zachary Taylor and the family of Czar Nicholas II.

This is not the same edition or cover as the one I recieved, but it's just for school, so it works fine.

 Not an "easy" read but worth it., January 21, 2016
By Anti-Federalist

Not an "easy" read but worth it. Be advised that this book was written prior to universal access to DNA evidence. I'm unsure of the date it was published but it has a mid 1990's feel to it.

 That's how much I liked it. Dr, December 16, 2015

It was the first book I ever read on forensic anthropology. I was mesmerized. I could not put the book down. I think I read the book in 4 hours. If I were a younger, non matriculated student, that book would have influenced me to become a forensic anthropologist. That's how much I liked it. Dr. Maples remains, in my opinion, one of the smartest, most cunning scientists in the field of forensic anthropology.

If you like to hear about other people's perspectives over forensic cases, July 23, 2015
By hekthequeen

This book is a lot of this guy's personal reminiscences rather than the fact telling of cases. If you like to hear about other people's perspectives over forensic cases, then you might like this. I was hoping for something more substantial and technical.
