A Taste for Poison

Eleven Deadly Substances and the Killers Who Used Them

Neil Bradbury

Blending science, history and the stories of true crime, Neil Bradbury explores the nature of eleven poisons. With examples ranging from arsenic, thought to have killed Alexander the Great and Cleopatra, to the first murder committed by the injection of insulin, and the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, he details how each toxic substance takes its toll and what they reveal about how the human body works.
