Spiegel bestseller! A unique inside 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... Cadaveric poison on the carpet, blood stains on the door frame, severed toes, hundreds of maggots and an unbearable smell of decomposition for the whole house: Thomas Kundt's work as a professional crime scene cleaner begins when the police and forensic investigators leave. He is called when it is necessary to cope with the most difficult cases - for example, to clean an apartment after a bloody fountain or a dead tenant whose body has been decomposing in the apartment for a whole 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 collapse of the GDR are the heroes of this book along with its author. Thomas Kund admits that his job is to help people continue to live after the loss of loved ones, as well as to preserve the memory of those who died alone. This 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 published the book “After Death I Come” and went straight to the Spiegel bestseller list. His gripping stories about crime scenes, unusual places in the house where bodies were found, and his work that begins when the apartment is abandoned by police and forensic scientists have delighted a growing fan base ever since. Ideal for lovers of true crime and dark humor!” – Berlin.de
