Overview

Here are thirteen cases of fatal passions, unfortunate acquaintances, and gruesome endings. The thirteen killings-by-poison revisited in this book were committed by some of the most infamous murderers in British and American history. Presenting infamous cases from 1857-1972, Adrian Vincent recounts their sinister tales and reveals the lure of money, lust, and deviancy that drove them to pure evil. Some of the dark cases covered in this fascinating book include Dorothea Waddingham, better known as the Angel of Death, who ran a nursing home that did more than just care for the elderly, and Tillie Gburek, a so-called psychic who could accurately predict when people would die--because she'd already scheduled their murders. A Gallery of Poisoners is classic true crime at its best--thrilling and disturbing in equal measure. Perfect for any fan of historical true crime!
