Book excerpt: From the "Pasedena Star News" investigative journalist who covered the chilling case comes the grisly true story of the Lamb Funeral Home scandal in southern California. Braidhill details the twisted greed and blind ambition that drove the founder's son, David Sconce, to mutilate corpses and illegally sell their body parts--including the gold in their teeth. Pleading guilty to 21 felony charges, Sconce spent four years in prison and is now nearly bankrupt. Includes 16 pages of never-before-published photos.
