Forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal spends his days among the dead, trying to uncover how they died and whether a crime was committed.
Trace offers a glimpse on some of the strange death scenes he has attended, like the shallow grave beside a river where a body was found with an amputated finger, and the daily realties of working in a mortuary. He also describes rare cases he has dealt with, including a suspected poisoning that turned out to be a shooting.
