Obscure cases of death, disease and murder An unlikely case of autocide, a rare and deadly amniotic avalanche, a victim of roasted peanuts... The 'if' of death is certain. The 'when' is unknown. It is the 'why' that really gets people's interest. Cynric Temple-Camp, bestselling author of The Cause of Death and The Quick and the Dead, returns with more strange-but-true stories of death, disease and murder, as well as new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the trial of Mark Lundy, and the ill-fated journey of Ansett New Zealand Flight 703.
