A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them

byNeil Bradbury

A brilliant blend of science and crime, A TASTE FOR POISON reveals how eleven notorious poisons affect the body–through the murders in which they were used. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, A Taste for Poison moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing A Taste for Poison within medical and science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. A Taste for Poison emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
