Strange and shocking stories of death and murder in provincial New Zealand
You won't believe these stories happened in New Zealand…Forensic and coronial
pathologist Dr Cynric Temple-Camp lifts the lid on some of the most fascinating
cases he's worked on during his 30-year career as a corpse investigator.
Written with all the gritty detail of a Patricia Cornwell novel, the intrigue of
Making a Murderer, and the horror of True Detective, this is a brilliantly told
collection of true stories from a rural pathologist, including the high-profile
Lundy murders. Told with great skill, full of suspense, cliff-hangers and
bizarre and surprising twists in the narrative – most of the examinations are
at crime scenes, and there's a real sense of adventure as Dr Temple-Camp heads
off, often in the middle of the night, into the unknown. A forensic pathologist
is, in Dr Temple-Camp's own words: ‘Someone who cuts up the dead to find out
why they died.’
Dr Temple-Camp's stories of spontaneous combustion, a gruesome murder right
beneath the control tower at Palmerston North Airport, a mysterious death in an
historic homestead, rare diseases, drug-mules, devil-worshippers, cot-deaths,
land-mark cases, exhumations, are all from our own backyard. This book will
shock and entertain, make you squirm but also occasionally pull at the
heartstrings.
