Publisher's Summary

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.

What the critics say

"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)

I enjoyed every minute of this Audible production

Some have found the book too long, some have found parts of it irrelevant, and some found that there was too much science involved. I was never bored for a moment. I’ve never heard of such an organization and I believe that they must be doing a wonderful job to help law enforcement organizations find and identify missing people. Closure for families is of the upmost importance. I think it was well written and the reader was superb.

Worth the Money

I'll admit I pirated this audiobook prior to purchasing it.
The audio book (which includes updates on cases since it's initial release) was so intriguing that I have obviously purchased the audio book legitimately but also tracked down a physical copy (not easy as it's out of print). My one complaint is that the audio book end with the promise of a sequel/companion book which has not come out yet.
Don't really know a better way of saying my opinion other than I went and spent money on this book when I didn't have to.

Beautiful stories, great contextual knowledge

This is an amazing explanation of forensic science. But even more so, there are so many poignant and beautiful human stories that show why it is so important to solve the crimes that haunt people's memories. The love and the dedication of these forensic experts is very inspiring. I will never forget, for example, the story of the young man who was visited one day by the forensic team, who were able to tell him, countering his life-long sorrow... "Your mother did not abandon you and run away when you were small; we have finally found her, and it is evident that she was murdered." That kind of grief is so different from what was overshadowing the boy's self-narrative. The book is filled with incredible stories just like that one.

BRILLIANTLY ORCHESTRATED

Nothing like it- this is a masterpiece of its own kind. Exactly what you’re looking for, if you’ve gone as far as to read these reviews! Absolutely fascinating and bing worthy... only disappointment is that it ended.

I’m listening to this team’s other production, “Monster” next... I’m thrilled to find another journey they can take me on! Thank you to the Author and Narrator!
