The heart-wrenchingly honest and fascinating new book from forensic
pathologist and bestselling author of UNNATURAL CAUSES, Dr Richard
Shepherd A TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Each chapter is
like a finely-crafted detective story . . . Shepherd writes
beautifully, and despite its subject, the book is very funny in
parts' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Enlightening, strangely uplifting . . .
Shepherd's final chapter on death itself is a meditation of great
beauty and light which puts all the darkness of the previous pages
into perspective' DAILY MAIL 'Deeply insightful. Unflinching' THE
TIMES 'Fascinating' DAILY EXPRESS 'This book is about death, but in
it I will take readers on a journey through life . . .' _________
Dr Richard Shepherd, Britain's top forensic pathologist, has spent
a lifetime close to the dead. As a medical detective, each autopsy
he carries out is its own unique investigation, uncovering the
secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how they lived.
Through twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and
never-before-told cases, Dr Shepherd shares autopsies that span the
seven ages of human existence, and have taught him as much about
the marvels of life as the inevitability of death. From old to
young, from murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental
death, each of these bodies has something to reveal: about human
development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about
justice and even about Shepherd himself. From the bestselling
author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving and above all
reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to
understand it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to
embrace it as the last great adventure. _________ 'He has the
ability to examine himself and other people with the same forensic
eye that he applies to corpses - one of the reasons why his books
feel so life-enhancing' Daily Telegraph Praise for Dr Richard
Shepherd 'Gripping, grimly fascinating, and I suspect I'll read it
at least twice' Evening Standard 'A deeply mesmerising memoir of
forensic pathology. Human and fascinating' Nigella Lawson 'An
absolutely brilliant book. I really recommend it, I don't often say
that but it's fascinating' Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2 'Puts the
reader at his elbow as he wields the scalpel' Guardian

Express 'Fascinating, insightful, candid, compassionate' Observer
THE TRUE CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR AND SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
'One of the most fascinating books I have read in a long time.
Engrossing, a haunting page-turner. A book I could not put down'
The Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR __________ Meet the forensic
pathologist, Dr Richard Shepherd. He solves the mysteries of
unexplained or sudden death. He has performed over 23,000
autopsies, including some of the most high-profile cases of recent
times; the Hungerford Massacre, the Princess Diana inquiry, and
9/11. He has faced serial killers, natural disaster, 'perfect
murders' and freak accidents. His evidence has put killers behind
bars, freed the innocent, and turned open-and-shut cases on their
heads. Yet all this has come at a huge personal cost. Unnatural
Causes tells the story of not only the cases and bodies that have
haunted him the most, but also how to live a life steeped in death.
Thoughtful, revealing, chilling and always unputdownable, if you
liked All That Remains, War Doctor and This is Going to Hurt you'll
love this. **Pre-order Dr Richard Shepherd's new book THE SEVEN

In 1962 a small Morgan sports car TOK258 created history by
defeating factory teams run by leading international manufacturers
in the famous 24 hour race at the Le Mans circuit. The car crossed
the finishing line on Sunday 24th June having completed 2256 miles
in the twenty four hours from the start time on Saturday afternoon
to win the 2 litre GT class. Although privately owned, the car was
entered and supported by the Morgan Motor Company and driven by
Chris Lawrence and Richard Shepherd-Barron. This new colour 50th
anniversary edition of the original book by Ronnie Price, now with
racing driver Richard Shepherd-Barron as co-author, covers the
concept, preparation, and official testing at the circuit. It gives
a blow-by-blow account of the race, with anecdotes, memorabilia,
material and photographs only recently made available.
