Join us to discuss A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury

“Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes-some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved-are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function. Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison.” (Description from the SWAN catalog).

Don’t miss a special in-person presentation by author Neil Bradbury on Tuesday April 9, 2024!
