FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLAND AND THE COVE The clock is ticking... For Detective Chief Inspector Ryan, the stakes have never been higher. Most of the world thinks he's dead, killed by an assasin's rifle in his own home. But another man took the bullet intended for him, and now Ryan's living on borrowed time. As long as he stays 'dead', in the sanctuary of his parents' home in Devon, there's a chance to find the people behind the deadly killing network. It's only a matter of time before his secret's uncovered, and nowhere will be safe. Back in Northumberland, Ryan's team are called in to investigate the mysterious death of a man in Alnwick, who collapsed yards from the walls of its Mediaeval castle. When a second person is rushed to hospital with the same symptoms, her life hangs in the balance unless they can discover the toxic substance that's killing her. For DCs Lowerson and Reed, there's only one place to look for inspiration-the Poison Garden... Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

Fourteen novels. Fourteen more poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random - the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this isn't the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?This book, the follow-up to Kathryn Harkup's best-selling A is for Arsenic, features fourteen more poisons from the books of Agatha Christie. V is for Venom explores the scientific facts behind the chemicals Christie put to such deadly use in her fiction. How do these compounds affect the body? What is their history of use in real-life murder cases, some of which may have inspired Christie, and how feasible was it to obtain, administer and detect these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today?V is for Venom is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.
