“Titanium Doesn’t Burn” presents an unusual challenge for the Los Angeles Homicide Division and the LA Coroner’s Office. Actually, Titanium does burn and will eventually melt at temperatures around 3,100 degrees Fahrenheit. Cremations of humans, however, are conducted between 1,400 and 1,800 degrees. In those cases where the deceased has titanium implants, they are certainly noted if not removed. There have been cases where implants have unexpectedly been found in the ashes after a cremation. As the implants carry a serial number and the name of the manufacturer, they can usually be traced to the individual that had that particular surgery.
That is the background for this mystery as the wrong man is cremated in Tucson, Arizona and the correct body (a young man from LA) goes missing. The reader can reach his or her own conclusion as to whether those who might plan and execute such a crime might get away with it, were it not in this case for the implants.
This is the third mystery novel I have written and placed on Amazon. The other two, “Twenty-Six Miles Across the Sea – A Murder Mystery” and “Murder in Dodger Stadium” are joined by three other books containing eight more short stories – all murder mysteries. In all cases, Captain Charley Grainger and Detective Peter Gregory lead the team from the LA Homicide Division and Dr. Janis Johnson is the exceptional young coroner who works closely with them.
Investigating a suspected murder where there is no body is always a challenge. A motive or motives may readily be determined ,but as to means, in particular, and opportunity, to a large extent, there is little to go on. This would be especially true when the body was cremated and, as a result, successfully unidentifiable.
The technologies and medical science utilized in this book, based on my research and interviews with funeral home personnel, are being employed by police, forensics personnel, and coroners today. The book is dedicated to those men and women.
