Description

Barbara Butcher's remarkable true crime memoir offers a candid and sensitive look at her experiences as a New York City death investigator. With over 5,500 death scenes under her belt, including the 9/11 attacks, Butcher shares the untold stories behind some of the nation's most horrific tragedies. As a trailblazing woman in a male-dominated field, Butcher recounts her journey from early recovery to finding a lifeline in a job at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Her work took her to the autopsy room, morgue, and active crime scenes, where she uncovered the complexities of death and the lessons it teaches us about life. With vivid and darkly humorous prose, Butcher invites readers into the gritty world of crime-scene investigation, revealing her honesty, resilience, and sharp wit.
