ASHES The Terrifying True Horror Behind Locked Funeral Parlor Doors

Paperback. He was a mortician accused of murdering the living - and convicted of desecrating the dead. It took a man who remembered the horrors of Auschwitz to recognise the smell pouring out from the large ceramics factory at the edge of the desert. It was the smell of death. Behind the respectable facade of a mortuary empire lay the gruesome reality of a business built of desecrating the dead, selling their body parts, gold from their teeth, even their vital organis. Without the knowledge of the bereaved, a team of death-factory workers illegally turned hundreds of cadavers into immensely profitable "product" - in horrifying conditions almost beyond the grasp of the sane mind. The shocking story of David Sconce, the mastermind behind these heinous acts against humanity - and of society's desperate efforts to convict him. 345pp. mass market. p/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. o/w Vg+ with minimal creasing.
