  • ""Connecticut, 1969. Una toxina letal extraída del pez globo ha sido robada del laboratorio de la universidad. Cuando los cadáveres empiezan a amontonarse, el capitán Carmine Delmonico entra en acción. Las muertes tienen dos elementos en común: la acción del veneno y la presencia del doctor Jim Hunter, un afroamericano casado con una blanca, que se ha enfrentado al escándalo y a los prejuicios durante casi toda su vida. Pero ¿por qué iba a poner en peligro cuanto ha conseguido? ¿Acaso están tendiéndole una trampa? Y en ese caso, ¿quién?"--Casadellibro"
  • "A lethal toxin is stolen from a Connecticut university laboratory. It kills within minutes and worried biochemist Dr Millie Hunter reports the theft at once to her father, Medical Examiner Dr Patrick O'Donnell. A death at a dinner party followed by another at a gala black-tie event seem to be linked only by the poison and Dr Jim Hunter, a scientist on the brink of greatness and Millie's husband. A black man married to a white woman, Dr Jim has faced scandal and prejudice for most of his life, so Captain Delmonico cannot understand what would cause him to risk it all now. Is he being framed for murder - and if so, by whom?"

  • "'McCullough is a tremendous storyteller' THE TIMES Holloman, Connecticut, 1969. A very rare and lethal toxin, extracted from the blowfish, is stolen from a laboratory at Chubb University. It kills within minutes and leaves no trace behind -- unless a doctor knows what to look for -- and worried biochemist Dr. Millie Hunter reports the theft at once to her father, Medical Examiner Dr. Patrick O'Donnell. Patrick's cousin, Captain Carmine Delmonico, is therefore quick off the mark when the bodies start to mount up.

Carmine and his team of detectives must navigate the competitive world of academic publishing, fraught with politics and prestige. The stakes are high: a valuable art collection, a large inheritance, old and upstanding local families, a gold-digging wife, jealous relatives and a young couple's future.
