Tales from the Autopsy Room

Renowned forensic doctor Pavel Toupalík and the princess of Czech crime writing, Kristýna Trpková, have joined forces to show readers what really goes on behind the curtain of the autopsy room. What is the work of a forensic expert in our country actually like? How different is the reality in Czech autopsy rooms from what we see on TV and read in books? Are the floors in autopsy rooms really as perfectly shiny and clean as they appear on screen? What was the most brutal crime that Pavel was called to during his career? Why do experts in this field swear by their notorious black humour? And which victims can you never get used to, even after more than thirty years of practice and tens of thousands of autopsies performed?
