Human bones are silent witnesses of everyone's life. Some stories are deeply embedded in the bone marrow and cannot be erased. Drawing on her years of research and extensive experience, world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Sue Black takes us on a journey of discovery. From the skull to the toes, the face, spine, ribs, arms, fingers, pelvis and legs, every part has its own story. What we eat, where we go, and everything we do leave traces, and a piece of useful information may not be available for months, years, and sometimes even centuries until a forensic anthropologist deciphers it. Some secrets are easily revealed, but others require rigorous scientific proof. But by discovering evidence and combining it effectively, we can reconstruct the facts and discover the truth. One toe after another, one case after another, some crimes, some history, some incredible stories - Sue Black uses a keen perspective, professional sensitivity and deep sympathy for the fate of mankind to tell us the stories that have been forgotten by mankind.

Professor Sue Black's expertise and experience are amazing. She gave me a deeper understanding of the forensic profession and gave me a greater respect and appreciation for those who work hard for the truth. However, I still kind of hate those criminals, what they do is really outrageous! I hope such people will be punished as they deserve. This book is definitely worth reading!
