Blood, Powder, and Residue by Beth A. Bechky

Blood Beneath My Feet by Joseph Scott Morgan
Publication Date: 2012-07-03

Death visits us all but for Joseph Morgan it decided to stay. In 1987 Morgan was estimated to have been the youngest death investigator in the US working in a major metropolitan area. Follow his life and career in this hard dose of Southern reality - in all its grisly details. Necrophiles, trailer parks and human cigarette lighters are all part of this slice of life from the morgue and the crime scene.
