I Come After Death. The Story of a Professional Crime Scene Cleaner

SPIEGEL BESTSELLER! A unique insider's look at one of the most unusual and shocking professions—a crime scene cleaner. HE CONFRONTS DEATH WITH ONLY A BUCKET AND A MOP IN HIS ARSENAL… Corpse fluid on the carpet, bloodstains on the doorframe, severed toes, hundreds of larvae, and the unbearable smell of decomposition filling the house: Thomas Kundt's job as a professional crime scene cleaner begins when the police and forensic investigators leave. He is called in when it's time to deal with the most difficult cases—such as cleaning an apartment after a bloody fountain or from a deceased tenant whose body has decomposed in the apartment for an entire year... In his witty and sincere book, Thomas Kundt shares touching and sometimes sad human stories about his clients. Victims of accidents and domestic violence, lonely pensioners, people who did not fit into the new society after the fall of the GDR—the heroes of this book stand alongside its author. Thomas Kundt admits that his job is to help people continue living after the loss of loved ones, as well as to preserve the memory of those who died alone. It is a kind of reconciliation with death as a part of existence, which taught him to value every human life. Disinfector and crime scene cleaner Thomas Kundt released the book I Come After Death and landed directly on the Spiegel bestseller list. His captivating stories about crime scenes, unusual places in homes where bodies were found, and his work, which begins when the police and forensic teams leave the apartment, have since delighted a growing fan base.
