Body Farm
The Body Farm series follows forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton as he uses his unique research facility to solve complex crimes. Each book offers a look into the science of human decomposition and its application to criminal investigations, blending mystery with true crime elements.
The Body Farm series should be read in publication order to follow the chronological development of Dr. Bill Brockton's cases and the evolution of forensic anthropology techniques. While each book presents a self-contained mystery, character arcs and scientific advancements build across the series.
The Body Farm series has not been directly adapted into a film or television series. However, the real-life work of Dr. Bill Bass, on whom the character of Dr. Bill Brockton is based, has inspired numerous documentaries and crime procedural shows.
The Body Farm series is the primary focus of the collaborative writing duo Jefferson Bass, which consists of Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass. While they do not have other interconnected series, their work exclusively explores the world of forensic anthropology through this fictionalized lens.
