Morgue

a Life in Death
“How does a homicide become a suicide?” ... “You write a big, fat check. If you can’t change the science, you buy the scientist.” === But civilization is an extremely thin veneer. There’s no difference between us and the people two thousand or four thousand years ago. We just make more laws, have keener tools, and conceal our violence with more class and finesse. === At those times when I think forensic science might not yet be perfect, I am always reminded that neither is justice. === When you fire a gun, it’s not just a bullet that comes out of the barrel. There’s a flame that burns up to 1,500 degrees, followed by hot gases, soot, burning gunpowder, and the bullet, of course.
