Meet Cassie Raven...
CASSIE was first introduced in the BBC Radio 4 crime shorts, Cut & Paste and Open & Shut produced by Sweet Talk Productions, which saw her delve into two forensic mysteries.
An anatomical pathology technician at a mortuary in edgy Camden Town, Goth girl Cassie has a special affinity with the bodies in her care. She treats them like people, not corpses, and believes that sometimes they respond - to 'tell her' how they died...
After leaving home at 17 to live in a Camden squat Cassie later studied science A-levels at evening classes. In Body Language, the teacher who mentored her turns up dead, supposedly from natural causes - but Cassie isn't so sure.
