No shout-out to Kathy Reichs, the creator of Temperance Brennan and herself an internationally recognized forensic pathologist. In emergencies requiring set-up of mobile, large-scale autopsy facilities, she and others like William Bass (who set up the Bone Yard at the University of Tennessee and is a writer, as well) are on-call to handle such situations.
