The Dead Do Talk

The Dead Do Talk
The Dead Do Talk

Forensic pathologist's crusade for justice in Thailand.

If you're fascinated by the intersection of science and law, and enjoy true crime with a touch of political intrigue, "The Dead Do Talk" is a compelling read. Dr. Porntip Rojanasunan shares her groundbreaking work in forensic pathology amidst the backdrop of Thailand's evolving justice system, making it a unique window into a world where the stories of victims are told posthumously to seek justice. Her courage and determination in the face of adversity not only makes for an informative read but an inspiring one as well.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Dr Porntip Rojanasunan, Thailand’s most famous forensic pathologist, has daily run-ins with police and frequently crosses swords with Thailand’s political heavyweights. She has also had her life threatened. But her relentless efforts to liberate the secrets of the dead and bring justice to the victims of crime and their families have won her popular support. In a country where there are 10,000 unidentified corpses every year and where crime scene investigation barely exists outside of the world of fiction, Dr Porntip has almost single-handedly dragged forensic science and DNA analysis into the limelight. In this book she recounts her growing-up years and the influences that shaped her life, and lays bare the challenges of her pioneering role as she describes some of her most significant cases, including her experiences dealing with the tragic events at Tak Bai in Thailand’s restive south and at the tsunami-hit Phang Nga.
