{"product_id":"9781472131515","title":"Nightshade by E. S. Thomson","description":"London, 1851.  Restless and bored after a long hot summer, apothecary and poison expert Jem Flockhart decides to redesign her physic garden.  But plans are thrown into confusion when a man's skeleton is unearthed from beneath the deadly nightshade, a smaller, child-like skeleton curled at its feet. The body bears evidence of knife wounds to its ribs and arms, and is accompanied by a collection of macabre objects: a brass bowl, a curious coin-like token, a set of tiny ivory sculls.\u003cp\u003eThe police claim the victim is too long-buried for answers to be found, but for Jem, a corpse in her own garden is something that cannot be ignored.  The plans to the garden, laid out some forty years earlier, reveal a list of five names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Jem and Will start asking questions, the murders begin.  Each victim has a past connection with the physic garden; each corpse is found with its jaw broken wide and its mouth stuffed with deadly nightshade. As they move closer to uncovering the truth Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain encounter a dark world of addiction, madness, power and death that strikes at the very heart of Jem's own history.  This time, the poison is personal.\u003c\/p\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Binding: Paperback,\u003cbr\u003ePagination: 368 pages","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46136749097187,"sku":"9781472131515","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9781472131515.jpg?v=1742204398","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781472131515","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
