About this book

"For centuries, arsenic's image as a poison has been inextricably tied to images of foul play. In King of Poisons, John Parascandola examines the surprising history of this deadly element... From murder to crime fiction, from industrial toxin to chemical warfare, arsenic remains a powerful force in modern life."--
