Review

"For a totally gonzo way of looking at the crime scene cleaning business, try this engrossing, wisecracking assessment...of a world we know exists but ignore as we go on about our lives."

"[G]ross and engrossing..."

Publisher's note

Neal Smither doesn’t hide his work. The side of his van reads: "Crime Scene Cleaners: Homicides, Suicides and Accidental Death." Whenever a hotel guest permanently checks out, the cops finish an investigation, or an accidental death is reported, Smither’s crew pick up the pieces after the police cruisers and ambulances have left.

Alan Emmins offers a glimpse at this little-known aspect of America’s most gruesome deaths. Filled with details as fascinating as they are gory, Mop Men examines not just the public fascination with murder but also how a self-made success like Smither can make a fortune just by praying for death.

Annotation

Alan Emmins has written a bloody and bizarre biography of Neal Smither, a genial family man who runs a multi-million dollar business cleaning up crime scenes in San Francisco. Smither armors himself in a shell of black humor as he earns his living erasing the gory remains of the messiest murders, sickest suicides, and most disgusting deaths in the Bay area. Emmins's compelling portrait of this strangely appealing man demonstrates that it is possible to extract something positive from even the worst imaginable acts of humanity.

Emmins offers a profile of the successful and extremely eccentric Crime Scene Cleaners--the men who step in and clean up after the police finish their investigation of a homicide, suicide, or accidental death.
