The No.1 international bestselling account of a forensic pathologist's life spent amongst death
The scalpel goes down. The gown is discarded. The chatter stops. Heads turn expectantly.

Dr Marie Cassidy became a forensic pathologist in 1985 following her training as a histopathologist. She worked as a Consultant Forensic Pathologist in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology in Glasgow for the next thirteen years, investigating unnatural deaths and homicides, from gangland shootings and stabbings, to drugs deaths, road traffic accidents and suicides. In 1998 she returned to her family's homeland of Ireland. She was appointed State Pathologist and performed thousands of post-mortems and dealt with hundreds of murders over 30 years. Her first book, Beyond The Tape, is a number one bestseller and was nominated for an Irish Book Award.
