The chemistry of death

When the bizarrely mutilated and long-dead body of a young woman is found in a ditch in Manham, an isolated and insular village in the Norfolk marshlands, it isn't just the fact that she had been a friend that disturbs Dr David Hunter. He was once a high-profile forensic anthropologist and all too familiar with the different faces of death, until a devastating personal tragedy made him turn his back on his former life and career. Now hidden away as a country doctor, Hunter's past is a secret he hopes will remain buried. So when he's asked by the police to use his arcane skills to help track down the killer, he's reluctant to become involved. Then another young woman disappears...Strong language. 2006.

  • "A human body starts to decompose four minutes after death. The body, once the encapsulation of life, now undergoes its final metamorphosis. It begins to digest itself. Cells dissolve from the inside out. Tissue turns to liquid, then to gas. No longer animate, the body becomes an immoveable feast for other organisms. Young Neil and Sam learn this disturbing information first hand when they come across maggot trail on the edge of Farnley Wood. Country boys, aware of the cycle of life and death, they never expected to find the naked, unrecognisable body of Sally Palmer. And Dr David Hunter never expected his troubled past to revisit him. When he escaped to the village of Manham, Norfolk he thought he'd closed that chapter of his life forever. Instead he finds himself assisting the police in an investigation that will shatter the tranquillity of the insular community forever."
