Product Description
Synopsis
Not for the squeamish, this novel concerns a nasty murder committed in the pathology museum of a medical school where the egos are large and there are scores to be settled.

From the Author
Although this is a work of pure fiction, the anatomical and pathological detail is completely authentic and the motives and attitudes of some of the characters are merely an exaggeration of normality.
There is no such Medical School as the one described, but the Pathology Museum in which the murder occurs is based on reality and the intention has been to bring to the reader a taste of what strange and wonderful places museums of pathology can be.
Pathology is the study of disease and, although it has a reputation for being a profession irrevocably linked with the less savoury aspects of human life, it is at heart a problem-solving process and as such is closely akin to the wider world of crime detection. Pathologists do what they do because they gain satisfaction from resolving a puzzle and explaining a mystery.
And, after all, there is no greater mystery than death.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Feast of Carrion - A Feast of Reading Pleasure, 28 Jul 2003
Although the subject is initially rather gruesome, I found "A Feast of Carrion" to be a superb book. I now read more slowly than I used to, but I read this book very quickly, always a good sign. The story was well plotted and the characters were credible. The dialogue was realistic, and nothing grated on the reader. This author should do well; I look forward to his next book.
