Antidote to Venom (British Library Crime Classics)

'Mr Wills Crofts is deservedly a first favourite with all who want a real puzzleâ‚¬ â‚¬â€œ Times Literary Supplement
'He always manages to give us something that really keeps us guessingâ‚¬ â‚¬â€œ Daily Mirror

George Surridge, director of the Birmington Zoo, is a man with many worries: his marriage is collapsing; his finances are insecure; and an outbreak of disease threatens the animals in his care.
As Surridgeâ‚¬s debts mount and the pressure on him increases, he begins to dream of miracle solutions. But is he cunning enough to turn his dreams into reality â‚¬â€œ and could he commit the most devious murder in pursuit of his goals?
This ingenious crime novel, with its unusual 'invertedâ‚¬ structure and sympathetic portrait of a man on the edge, is one of the greatest works by
this highly respected author. The elaborate means of murder devised by Croftsâ‚¬s characters is perhaps unsurpassed in English crime fiction for its ostentatious intricacy.
This new edition is the first in several decades and includes an introduction by the award-winning novelist and crime fiction expert Martin Edwards.
