Total copies: 1
The second woman ever hired for the role of Death Investigator in Manhattan, Barabara Butcher was the first to last more than three months. In What the Dead Know, she describes how just from sheer luck of having her arm in cast she avoided a boobytrapped suicide. Later in her career, she describes working the nation's largest mass murder, the attack on 9/11. This is the fascinating and stunning real-life story of a woman who, in dealing with death every day, learned surprising lessons about life - and how some of those lessons saved her from becoming a statistic herself.
