On Death’s Trail, a Detective Larger Than Life: “Once someone has seen Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand, 47, the country’s most famous pathologist, on television or on the cover of one of her best-selling books, it is impossible to forget her. She may be the strangest looking woman in Thailand. Outlandish outfits. Platform shoes. Hair that seems to say, “Surprise!” in orange, rust, scarlet, mauve, chestnut. And, most unnerving, an absolutely straight face… Almost single-handedly she has expanded the nearly nonexistent field of forensic pathology, has belatedly introduced DNA testing to Thailand and has brought some order to the procedures of her calling, detective work on the dead.” NY Times [thanks, Abby]
