Tales from the Morgue by Cyril H. Wecht, Angela Powell, and Mark Curriden

Tales from the Morgue: Forensic Answers to Nine Famous Cases Including The Scott Peterson & Chandra Levy Cases is not nearly as interesting as the title makes it sound. He makes Scott Peterson seem innocent and other than some information on the assassination of JFK nothing really new comes to light in this book. This book has a lot more personal opinions in it about the cases then one would like especially since it seems as though the author is trying to get you to see things his way. I did further research on Dr. Wecht and found that he is being retried. He is accused of using his public office for private gain while Allegheny County coroner. If you are interested in this book check it out or wait until it comes out in paperback. Do NOT waste your money on this.
