CAUSE OF DEATH The Final Diagnosis

Hardback, 1st UK edn. The single bullet, the lone gunman, the convenient heart attack, the accidental overdose - too often the public has been fed explanations which serve only to exonerate the killer or, most frighteningly of all, the state. In this outspoken and controversial book, one of the world's foremost forensic pathologists analyses some of the most famous cases of the century, re-examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Elvis Presley, among others, in the light of startling advances in forensic science. Dr. Wecht explodes the myths that have been built around the deaths of these figures and offers new and sinister explanations for what we have been given to accept as truth. Illus., Appendix and Index. 314pp. lge. 8vo. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in F. dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage.
