"Poison in the Shadows" is a masterfully crafted English murder mystery that weaves a tale of deception, high society scandals, and an unforgiving quest for the truth.

When Dr. Billings, an earnest assistant to the famed poison specialist Sir Ernest Lambert, receives an urgent call in the chill of an early 1920s night, he is thrust into a labyrinthine mystery. A masked dancer has been found dead at the infamous Domino Club, a place notorious for its secretive and decadent gatherings. As dawn breaks over London's somber cityscape, Dr. Billings is compelled to unravel the sinister threads of a deadly conspiracy entwined with some of London's most powerful figures.

The plot thickens as Sir Ernest and Dr. Billings delve deeper into the dark arts of toxins and subterfuge, navigating through a sea of aristocratic facades and criminal intents. Each revelation unveils a tangled web of blackmail, secret identities, and a perilous game of chess that threatens to engulf everyone in its wake. The stakes are impossibly high, as one wrong move could spell doom not just for Dr. Billings, but for the entire fabric of society's elite.
