Professor Black’s commitment to finding answers for bereaved relatives has led to her working on mass graves in Kosovo and Iraq and the Indian Ocean tsunami. Her work with police has revolutionised aspects of identifying criminals. Eavesdrop on a fascinating and entertaining encounter between two women who deal with death in very different ways.
