Three days of burned bodies , plus the violent , unexplained , and unattended deaths Philadelphia regularly generated . She ’ d been going non-stop . Her boss handled the press and the police , her assistants dealt with frantic family members , Trudy delegated autopsies where she could , but she had little rest . Now bones , an entire bag of bones . It takes weeks , sometimes years , for a body to decompose depending on a variety of factors , she recalled from her days in medical school . Those bones aren ’ t recently dead . Fresh death was her job . One that never stopped .
