Krátky popis
Fourteen stories. Fourteen more poisons. Just because it's fiction
doesn’t mean it's all made-up ...Agatha Christie is renowned for
her captivating plots and creative ways of killing off ill-fated
victims. And what better way to add intrigue to a story than
poison? The surreptitious ways they can be administered and the
characteristic symptoms they produce make these killer chemicals
the ideal method of murder in a ‘whodunit’. Christie perfected the
use of poisons in her plots, her deft and varied use of toxic
substances is one of her great strengths as a writer.But how is it
that some compounds prove so fatal, and in such tiny amounts?The
follow up to Kathryn Harkup's best-selling A is for Arsenic, V is
for Venom is a compelling exploration of Christie’s use of poisons
and her extensive chemical knowledge. Featuring fourteen more
poisons from the works of Agatha Christie, this book investigates
the science behind the deadly substances, the history of their use
in real-life murder cases, and how feasible was it to obtain,
administer and detect these poisons in Christie’s time and today.
Combining Christie’s murder mysteries, chemical science and true
crime, V is for Venom is a celebration of the use of science by the
undisputed Queen of Crime.
