Poisoning is one of the most popular methods chosen by cunning killers. Poison can be slipped into a drink, smeared on the tip of an arrow or a door handle, or sprayed to enter the body through the lungs. But how exactly does poison destroy us from within?
In your hands is an exciting blend of popular science literature, medical history, and true crime. Dr. Neil Bradbury explores eleven deadly substances and their effects on the human body at the molecular, cellular, and physiological levels.
The author weaves together stories about abandoned lovers, dubious scientists, suspicious medics, and political assassins. From the deadly origin of the gin and tonic cocktail to the arsenic wallpaper in Napoleon's bedroom — this book will immerse readers in a fascinating journey through the tangled and complex systems that sustain our lives.
