title: Melancholy Madness: A Coroner's Casebook
author: Michelle McGoff-McCann
description: <i>The stories that appear are painful, detailed, gruesome and sad and deserve to be remembered; for those who have suffered in these pages were the silent martyrs that created the need for change in our contemporary society. These are all true stories of death, and here for the first time these forgotten souls, many buried in unmarked graves around the country, are remembered.</i>
