Extended description

One of humanity's greatest unspoken fears is having our mortal remains desecrated in the grave. These fears reach as far back as the ancient Egyptians and are as close at hand as today's headlines. Skullduggery examines 45 real life tales of those who would disturb the dead's eternal slumber. Discover the postmortem histories of Elvis, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Thomas Paine, Alexander the Great, Eva Peron, Graham Parsons, Che Guevara, Albert Einstein, and others who were not allowed to rest in peace. The motivations for these ghoulish crimes range from greed and avarice to pure affection. Once you step into the world of Skullduggery, you will never pass by a cemetery at night without considering what forces are at work in the dark.

Review by: Cheryl Reels on Jan. 01, 2010 : (no rating)
Whether you are into history or mystery, you will enjoy the new book, "Skullduggery: 45 True Tales of Disturbing the Dead", by Brian Kannard. With his freshman effort, Mr. Kannard has authored a book that is as well researched and documented as an academic tome, yet reads like a fun novel. Some of these victims of skullduggery will be well known to the reader: Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, and Elvis Presley among others. Many are people that are unknown outside their corner of the world, yet their stories are just as interesting and often downright macabre. Each of these 45 stories will leave the reader in disbelief at what has been attempted in the name of science, religion, politics or simply greed. This book will definitely educate and entertain the reader.
