This book is very clearly NOT for the faint of heart. We're talking even dead babies here...in this book NOTHING is sacred. And shows [thankfully] everything but in black and white....I don't think I could have handled the COLORED shots. From decapitated heads, to woman sawed in pieces to hangings, to children killed by their parents....it's all here including suicides by shotguns. Anyone who has ever wondered what the cops REALLY witness at crime scenes and why their rate of suicide or job burn-out is at an almost 98% rate---- needs to see this book, and you'll wonder no more. All Considering cops do NOT get paid enough to do what they do and you'll clearly see what I mean when you look through these pages. This is gruesome with a capital G.
