No Stone Unturned

The True Story of the World's Premier Forensic Investigators

By: Steve Jackson

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

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)

Great book

Great book that kept me intrigued throughout. The narrator did a great job getting the seriousness of the cases across without discounting the emotion.

Well worth reading

This history of NECROSEARCH International. A volunteer group of forensic investigators, is an easy listen that you can lay down and pick up again when you want to investigate another cold story with a missing corpus delecti

Forensics Tour de Force

If you love forensics and true crime this is a must read/listen. Loved it from start to finish!

Great listen for any true crime buff!

This is an extensive and detailed history of this earliest collaborative forensic / body search / crime solving group complete with personal stories of the scientists and law enforcement members of the group and step-by-step descriptions of the lengths it took to solve some seemingly unsolvable murders. Great detail and explanation, even to the uninitiated to some of the technology and techniques described.

Absolutely fascinating!

What a book! Just fascinating. I'd heard of the "pig people", but to hear how they came together and founded NecroSearch International was a first for me. Both the story itself and the cases that were covered were so well written about and perfectly detailed. As usual, the narration by Kevin Pierce is flawless.

Educational in its delivery

I enjoyed learning about how the forensic field investigators engineered processes now used in discovering graves or river resting places when a crime is committed. I’m all about finding the criminal and justice for all. This was an enjoyable satisfying read. I only hope more are written. I’m hooked and the narrator delivers a good read

Fans of FBI Files

An excellent read for fans of true crime, forensic science and The FBI files. Excellent narrator and updates to original were an excellent addition.

Exceptional

Confronting, accurate, inspiring and brilliant... this is such an exceptional story of the beginning of forensics science and forensic investigators... in the science of what we now know as crime scene investigations.

One of the most interesting listens

Just could not turn this one off! Really interesting story well told! Enjoyed it immensely!

Very informative & entertaining

Great book explaining NecroSearch and their field of forensic science. I'm glad to know someone is doing something to solve cold cases where bodies are still missing. There is no statute of limitations on grief.
