About this listen

No Stone Unturned recreates the genesis of NecroSearch International: a small, eclectic group of scientists and law enforcement personal, active and retired, who volunteer their services to help locate the clandestine graves of murder victims and recover the remains and evidence to assist with the apprehension and conviction of the killers. Known early on as "the pig people" because of their experiments in locating graves using the carcasses of pigs (due to their similarities to human bodies), NecroSearch has evolved and expanded into one of the most respected forensic investigation teams in the world.

In No Stone Unturned, New York Times best-selling author Steve Jackson, the author of Bogeyman and Monster, vividly tells the story of this incredible group and recounts some of their most memorable early cases that separately would make great true crime books. Following his participation in a NecroSearch expedition to Russia looking for the remains of a Russian noble in 2013, Jackson was made an honorary member of NecroSearch International in November 2014.

Critic Reviews

"A fascinating journey into the trenches of crime [investigation]" (Lowell Cauffiel, New York Times best-selling author of House of Secrets)
"The book covers the group's quirky beginnings and digs into its most important cases suspensefully; Jackson's sharp eye misses nothing in the painstakingly rendered details. A must-have for true crime fans, it should also be of great interest to anyone fascinated with the practical applications of science." (Publisher's Weekly)
" No Stone Unturned delves into cases that would make good novels, but they're real. Furthermore, he describes a group of uncommon people performing uncommon tasks, and he does it with respect, accuracy and genuine style." (Ron Franscell)

While this wasn't a "gripping" listen, I did find it fascinating to learn about how some forensics were started and the work it would take to find a buried body. Narrator was easy to listen to.

The author (and narrator) is an incredible story teller. So respectful to the victims and their families. Many parts of the book left me in tears. You can hear how much the author and this group care for the people they seek to help, and rather than spraying the book with their success, the author has told the true story, the behind the scenes. Celebrating the learning process and giving a voice to the victims. So much respect for the families involved. Truly a masterpiece.

I cannot recommend this book enough! Steve Jackson has managed to perfectly combine science and true crime in a way that any fool can understand. You will laugh, you will cry but most of all, you will be drawn in to the world of locating clandestine graves and find yourself celebrating every one of Necro Search Internationals' fledgling successes which have turned them in to the internationally acclaimed organisation they are today.

Perfect Combination of Science and True Crime
