Death's Acre by William Bass, Jon Jefferson

Death's Acre is a fascinating look at the Body Farm and how it got started.

Basically, that's the place where they set bodies out during different conditions to gather data on decomposition. This helps forensic experts figure out how long a body's been out in the elements in different climates and seasons.

Read it long ago, but I remember enjoying it.

I honestly can't remember if I've read stiff or not. I think I did. Ages ago. but yeah, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it was good.
