Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Noguchi conducted the official autopsies of some of the most high-profile figures of his time.

Coroner is a meticulously researched biography of a complex man, set against the backdrop of the social and racial politics of the 1960s and 1970s and Hollywood celebrity culture.
