Written with honesty and a touch of dark humor, Clay and Bone is the memoir of the FBI's first female forensic artist.
Lisa Bailey never considered life and death until she came across an opening for a forensic artist at the FBI. The idea of using her artistic talent to help crime victims proved too enticing. Soon she was documenting crime scenes, photographing charred remains, and sculpting faces from the skulls of unknown victims. She was especially fascinated by facial reconstruction: Bailey knew that an accurate portrait in clay could identify the deceased and help find the killer.
Lisa became an expert in her field, working on hundreds of cases, but she faced discrimination and harassment. FBI brass protected the guilty, responding with threats and slander. Outraged by the hypocrisy, Bailey decided to fight... Her book is a journey into the mysterious and fascinating world of a forensic artist's work.
