Octavo, hardcover (gray & purple boards), gilt letters, 319 pp. Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In The Poisoner's Handbook, Puiitzer Prize-winning science writer Deborah Blum shares a fascinating Jazz Age of tale of chemistry and detection, poison and murder. In early-twentieth-century New York, poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime. Science had no place in the Tammany Hall -- controlled coroner's office and corruption ran rampant. However, with the appointment of chief medical examiner Charles Norris in 1918, the poison game changed forever. Together with toxicologist Alexander Gettler, Norris set the justice system on fire with his traillblazing scientific detective work and established the discipline of forensics. Following the trail of evidence that leads them to downtown tenements, swanky smoke-filled jazz clubs, and moonshine distilleries, Norris and Gettler work with a creativity that rivals the most imaginative murder. Yet each case presents a new lethal challenge, and the scenarios astound: Norris and Gettler investigate a family mysteriously stricken bald, Barnum and Bailey's Famous Blue Man, factory workers with crumbling bones, a diner serving poisoned pies, and many others. From the vantage of their laboratory in the infamous Bellevue Hospital it quickly becomes clear that killers aren't the only toxic threat. Modern life has created a treacherous landscape, and danger lurks around every corner. Automobiles choke the city streets with carbon monoxide; potent compounds, such as morphine, can be found on store shelves in products ranging from pesticides to cosmetics. Prohibition incites a chemist's war between bootleggers and government scientists while in Gotham's crowded speakeasies each round of cocktails becomes a game of Russian roulette. Norris and Gettler triumph over seemingly unbeatable odds to become the pioneers of forensic chemistry and the gatekeepers of justice. A beguiling concoction that is equal parts true crime, twentieth-century history, and science thriller, The Poisoner's Handbook is a page-turning account of a forgotten New York.
