Forensic Medicine in the Service of Solving Crimes: Forensic specialist Professor Michael Tsokos, Germany's most renowned forensic pathologist, helps to solve spectacular criminal cases – at the crime scene, on the autopsy table, in the lab, and in court. In his new non-fiction book, he discusses murder and manslaughter, crime, and raw violence. A well-known politician kills a friend, transports the body to his apartment, and then takes his own life. A man drowns his wife in the bathtub and stages the murder as an accident. A doctor mutilates himself and fakes a robbery. With his forensic reports, Michael Tsokos has provided crucial insights to the investigative authorities in these criminal cases. The central question always remains: Was it murder, suicide, an accident – or was it a natural death? Tsokos vividly and compellingly recounts mysterious crimes in which he was significantly involved in solving. The forensic specialist follows the traces of the crime and pieces together the evidence into a coherent overall picture that leads to the reconstruction of the criminal case. This is the best of true crime.
