The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York

The Poisoner's Handbook is a gripping true crime story that reads like science fiction, complete with suspense, mystery, and foolhardy guys in lab coats tipping test tubes of mysterious chemicals into their own mouths.

This fascinating Jazz Age tale of chemistry and detection takes readers on a page-turning account of a forgotten era, where poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime.

With the appointment of chief medical examiner Charles Norris in 1918, the poison game changed forever, as he and toxicologist Alexander Gettler set the justice system on fire with their trailblazing scientific detective work.

This groundbreaking book is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, history, or science thrillers.
