FI one - Jack Sturiano

Imagine working at the morgue for twenty-four years. Every corpse has a story. This is a first-hand account of the real world of forensic medicine. It's not the book, radio or television version, which from Poe to Holmes to Morse is entertaining fiction, but very little to do with the reality that's being presented in these memoirs of a forensic investigator who did the work for twenty-four years. Every one of these stories has at the core an actual event witnessed by the author. Nothing is made up.

Jack Sturiano served in the US Navy as a hospital corpsman with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam. After military service he spent most of his career investigating deaths for a US Medical Examiners Office.

"Jack Sturiano creates a unique, haunting, impossible tale, where themes of death, suicide, dismemberment, and twisted intentions are intertwined with the reality as experienced in a modern medical environment. His stories are short, taut and hard-hitting, gripping the reader as soon as they turn the first page. After all, who isn't curious about what really happens behind that taped crime scene? It would be fair to say Jack Sturiano has seen it all and in this collection, he shares his stories well."
