Combining The Seven Ages of Death and Unnatural Causes , the collection offers a compelling, deeply human window into a career spent uncovering the truth behind thousands of deaths. Ideal for true crime enthusiasts, medical students, and readers of narrative non-fiction, this set pairs gripping case studies with candid reflection on mortality, justice, and the emotional cost of a life devoted to the dead. About the Books In Unnatural Causes , Dr Shepherd draws on a career encompassing more than 23,000 autopsies to recount some of the most high-profile and challenging investigations of his working life, from the Hungerford Massacre to the Princess Diana inquiry and the aftermath of 9/11. The book traces how forensic evidence has convicted the guilty, exonerated the innocent, and overturned accepted narratives, while also exploring the personal toll of a life spent bearing witness to humanity's darkest moments. The Seven Ages of Death continues Shepherd's exploration of mortality through twenty-four previously untold cases, structured around the different stages of human life, from infancy to old age. Each chapter functions as a self-contained medical detective story, examining what an autopsy can reveal not just about how someone died, but about how they lived. Together, the two books form a thoughtful, unflinching, and ultimately humane portrait of pathology as both science and vocation, blending clinical detail with genuine compassion for the dead and those left behind. Written by a genuine forensic authority who has performed over 23,000 autopsies Covers globally si
