She detects evidence and eliminates hypotheses armed with little more than a microscope, eventually developing a compelling thesis of the who, what, how, and when of a crime. Wiltshire's remarkable accuracy has made her one of the most in-demand police consultants in the world, and her curiosity, humility, and passion for the truth have guided her every step of the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA riveting blend of science writing and true-crime narrative, \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of Life and Death\u003c\/i\u003e details Wiltshire's unique journey from college professor to crime fighter: solving murders, locating corpses, and exonerating the falsely accused.

Her story is a testament to the power of persistence and reveals how our relationship with the vast natural world reaches far deeper than we might think.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Patricia Wiltshire\u003c\/b\u003e is a forensic ecologist, botanist, and palynologist, and also has a background in environmental archaeology.
