The Teacup Poisoner

Work:: The Teacup Poisoner (S0233909876)

1961. 14 year-old Graham Young had a talent for chemistry and a hunger for fame. He might have opted for a career in science, instead, within a year, his stepmother was dead and his father, sister and a school friend had been poisoned. After nine years in Broadmoor Mental Hospital he was put in charge of the tea-trolley in a chemical laboratory. In just two months he had poisoned 70 more. This is the true story of a compelling, chilling and obsessive anti-hero, whose family, friends and work-mates became guinea-pigs in his experiments with poison. From school to Broadmoor, from the laboratory where he worked to Parkhurst where he died, if Graham Young was serving the tea, it was best avoided.
