I have just read Poisoner In The Dock By John Rowland... its about twelve studies in Poisoning.
When i picked up this book which was some years ago i thought it was about compounds used and not about actual cases of poisoning, although it does tell you on the front cover in small lettering at the top of the page.
Poisoning, I thought was an act that had more or less gone away, due to not being able to obtain yesterdays poisons so easily, although you had to have a good reason as to the use which you wanted it for even then...But, i am wrong it still goes on today.
Palmer The Poisoner as he was known, lived in Rugeley Staffordshire, (William) was the last case in the book, his Mother had a book published titled... They Hanged My Saintly Billy. But a Saint he was not.
He was hanged at Stafford on the 14 June 1856...Cat
