Le Manuel d'un jeune empoisonneur (1995)
1961, au nord de Londres. Graham, 14 ans, passe son temps à jouer au petit chimiste. Il est obsédé par l'antimoine et le thallium. Pour devenir le meilleur des toxicologues, il décide de tester ses théories sur sa belle-mère Molly. Mais les expériences tournent mal : sa sœur perd un œil, Molly est défigurée, son père hospitalisé. Graham se retrouve en prison dans un service pour psychopathes dangereux. 1969 : il est libéré sur parole. A l'usine où il travaille, il découvre une réserve d'antimoine et empoisonne plusieurs de ses collègues avant d'être de nouveau arrêté.
