Reviews

‘Could Black’s life be any more ready for a series producer to pitch to Netflix? ... and is it OK for her, or us, to enjoy this quite so much? – Times

‘Full of gripping case studies and full of dry humour.’ – Independent

‘Revealing: about the human body, about the evil that men do, and - in brief, flinty asides - about herself… Both a fascinating anatomy lesson and insight into the criminal cases on which she has worked… Something else we now know about Sue Black: that in the midst of death, there is beauty and life.’ – Sunday Times Scotland

‘Fascinating, and oddly life-affirming.’ – Spectator

Author Biography

Professor Dame Sue Black is one of the world’s leading forensic anthropologists.

Her expertise has been crucial to many high-profile criminal cases, and in 1999 she was the lead anthropologist in the war crimes investigations in Kosovo. She was one of the first forensic scientists to travel to Thailand following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 to provide assistance in identifying the dead.

Sue is a familiar face in the media where documentaries have been filmed about her work and she led the highly successful BBC 2 series ‘History Cold Case’. She was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to forensic anthropology. Sue is also the expert forensics adviser to crime writing heavyweight Val McDermid.

Her first book, All That Remains, is a Sunday Times Bestseller. It won the Saltire Literary Award and was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Non-Fiction 2019
