The perspective of Dead Men Do Tell Tales is wholly that of its author, William Maples. Maples lives from 1937 to 1997 and spends most of his life as a widely respected forensic anthropologist who is called to lead a number of very important skeletal identifications and to do a wide range of identifications of remains in murder cases along with autopsies and skeletal examinations that help lead to convictions. His perspective combines a "man of science" attitude towards death and forensics with a wistful curiosity about the nature of evil, an ardent sense of justice and a deep fascination with the dead.
