About this title

Synopsis

In the wake of a failed marriage and a misguided love affair, feisty academic Terry Williams moves from London to Oxford to resume her abandoned doctorate in detective fiction. But her visions of a peaceful life in a sleepy university town are shattered when she discovers that her new home was once the scene of a savage sexual murder, the horrific consequences of which continue to resound in the present.

Soom Terry begins to uncover, hidden beneath the staid academic facade, dark secrets that suggest a mystery more brutal and elusive than any she has come across in her studies.

And while the pieces slowly fall into place, a vicious killer walks the streets of Oxford protected by the night, bent on exacting bloody revenge for a crime of passion.

Elegant yet chilling, assured yet profoundly disturbing, The Poison Tree is a breathtaking debut from a fresh new voice in suspense fiction.

Store Description

We started selling books at the Toronto Book Fair in the Fall of 1996. In 2004 we opened up a Brick and Mortar store on the corner of Lakeshore and Bronte. We unfortunately only lasted for 2 years. Then we closed the B&M and moved everything back home. We continue to do book shows such as the Bouchercon, Bloody Words, The Toronto Book Fair, The Ottawa Antiquarian Show and Thrillerfest. In order to sell and acquire signatures. Thank you.

Shipping Terms

I make it a rule not to contact you with extra shipping. When I buy books I buy with the thought of "How much is this book going to cost to ship." If it's too much I won't buy it.
The shipping charges that ABE quotes is the final shipping charges. I will not contact you for more money. I will bite the bullet myself rather then harass you for more money.
Thank you. Don
