Some secrets are toxic...
Max Edwards quit drinking to save his troubled marriage. Now he's been found dead; his body poisoned by dangerous levels of alcohol. Convinced there's more to Max's death than meets the eye, his grieving widow hires unlicensed private eye Emily Swanson to find out the truth.
Emily knows just how it feels to lose everything, but even she finds herself doubting Max's sobriety - until she investigates his work as an environmentalist and makes a disturbing discovery.
Max isn't the only one to die in mysterious circumstances. A missing mother and son hold the key to understanding why. But will finding them endanger their lives?
Overwhelmed and out of her depth, Emily must do everything in her power to uncover a horrifying conspiracy...before more innocent people die.
Trail Of Poison is the third gripping thriller in M.J. Richards' nail-biting crime series with a psychological edge.
