How can a plant as beautiful as the foxglove be so deadly and yet so useful to treat heart disease? What will kill a rat may also kill a human so it is not, necessarily, surprising to find that murderers have resorted to rat poison but what happens when the rat poison doesn't work? Eight years after the highly acclaimed Molecules of Murder, John Emsley is again applying his winning formula to writing a book about crimes of murder and attempted murder carried out with natural and man-made poisons. Every chapter will feature one molecule and begin with an explanation of the molecule itself, followed by details of its discovery, history and use in medicine, before analysing murders which have been carried out using it. This book will not disappoint anyone interested in substances that are poisonous.
