A jogger running in a field near the perimeter of the African Lion Safari theme park in southern Ontario stumbles across a near-mummified skeleton. The remains are studied at a hospital morgue by a forensic pathologist, a forensic anthropologist and a forensic entomologist (known as "the bug lady"). They discover that the victim was female, non-Caucasian. But who was she? Award-winning journalist and author Jon Wells delivers a gripping, CSI-style story that was shortlisted for an Arthur Ellis Award for best crime non-fiction. Post-Mortem shows how Hamilton, Ontario, homicide investigator Paul Lahaie and his team chase a case in which the first challenge is finding the victim. One of the forensic detectives hits upon the secret to cracking the identity of the dead woman: rehydrating the hardened skin on her fingertips and rolling it for prints. A match is found to Yvette Budram, a woman from Guyana who immigrated to Canada and married a man named Mohan Ramkissoon. The police soon discover the first of many twists in the case-Yvette's prints are in the Canadian Police Information Centre system because she has a criminal record for uttering death threats against her husband. Mohan denies doing anything wrong. A blood-spatter expert is brought in-but what can the police now prove in this cold case?

Like many working class children growing up in the war, Jim Riordan would dream of FA Cup glory for his local team, Portsmouth FC. Spartak Moscow, the team he would end up playing for, wasn't even on his radar.Taught Russian and trained as a spy alongside Alan Bennett and Dennis Potter, he was posted to Berlin on National Service to listen in on the Soviets. Secretly mixing with Russian servicemen through informal kick-abouts - the passion of these idealistic young men would cultivate his interest in communism and Russian culture, which blossomed into a fully grown love affair.From Cold War Moscow at its coldest, through to his footballing debut in front of 50,000 people, 'Comrade Jim' tells the humourous and remarkable true story of the only Englishman to have played - and survived - Russian league football.
