Rome, 1656
In the shadowy backstreets of the Eternal City lies an apothecary – a place for women to take their heartbreaks and troubles. Herbs for childbirth. Tarot readings to tell their fortunes. An undetectable poison that can K*ll in four drops.
Alongside her circle of female poisoners, Giulia Tofana dispenses her deadly potion to free the downtrodden women of the city from their abusive husbands.
But even in a time of plague, it does not go unnoticed when the men of Rome begin to fall like flies.
With a newly elected Pope hell-bent on ridding the city of heretics and witches, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition on her tail, Giulia is in more danger than ever. . .
How far will she go for the women who need her help?

Cathryn Kemp is aSunday Times bestselling ghost writer and author, with a prolific career writing celebrity, inspirational, true crime, addiction and nostalgia titles. Her personal memoirComing Cleanwon the Big Red Read Prize for Non-Fiction.
