A Taste for Poison

Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them

Neil Bradbury

Discover the secrets of poison, the most popular weapon of choice for a scheming murderer, in this engaging blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime. Dr. Neil Bradbury explores the eleven molecules of death and how they work their way through the human body, illuminating the way our bodies function in the process. Through real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes, A Taste for Poison weaves together tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals, and political assassins to show how precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect. Follow the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail and the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom on this fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive—or don’t.
