This non-fiction book chronicles the work of forensic anthropologist Dr. Michael Charney and his team as they attempt to solve a murder case, using clues from a skeleton and some decaying clothes found by a poor mapmaker as he was doing some surveying. He spotted what he thought was a turtle shell, and only as he got closer did he realize that it was a human skull. Also included in the book are "Forensic Files" that include more general information about such topics as DNA and fingerprints. If you enjoy reading about forensics, try Hidden Evidence: 40 True Crimes and How Forensic Science Helped Solve Them by David Owen, or read the novel The Angel of Death, a Forensic Mystery by Alane Ferguson.
