Dead Men Tell Tales: The Memoir of a Police Surgeon - Paperback

by Priya K. Nair (Author)

Can the dead tell their stories? In the hands of a good forensic surgeon, they certainly can.

First published in 2010 in Malayalam as Oru Police Surgeonte Ormakkurippukal, this is the bestselling memoir of Kerala's most famous forensic surgeon, Dr B. Umadathan.

Popularly known as the 'Sherlock Holmes of Kerala', Dr Umadathan revisits some of his strangest and most interesting cases, like the Chacko murder masterminded by Sukumara Kurup; the sensational Polakkulam case; and the baffling Panoor Soman case.

Chilling, shocking and, at times, downright bizarre, Dead Men Tell Tales is unputdownable.
