Description

In this memoir, Mary Manheim, a forensic anthropologist and bioarchaeologist known as the bone lady to her colleagues, recollects dozens of stories. In one story, Manhein and the state police eventually unearth a black plastic bag buried in the banks of the Mississippi River containing the body of a man who has been missing for five years. After the painstaking process of examining the remains, confirming the victim's identity, and preparing a formal report for the police, Manhein testifies for the prosecution at the murder trial. The defendant is convicted, and the bone lady has helped solve yet another mystery.
