From Mary Ann Cotton to Dr Crippen, poisoners have attracted a celebrity status unmatched by other types of violent killer. Poisons used murderously have changed as forensic science has advanced and in the 20th century poisoning became a crime that was often associated with medical professionals. This may be the first history of crime to focus on poisoning and its consequences. Hardcover; 268pp
