About the Author
Tony Strong lives in England. The Poison Tree is his first novel.
From the Paperback edition.
From the Inside Flap
of a failed marriage and a misguided love affair, feisty academic Terry Williams moves to Oxford to resume her abandoned doctorate in detective fiction. Looking forward to a sleepy university town, Terry is dismayed to find that her new home was previously the scene of a savage sexual murder, and all too soon Terry finds the past returning to invade the present with horrific consequences.
Terry begins to uncover the dark secrets hidden behind this quiet idyllic life--a famous neighbor involved in a bizarre sexual scandal, a star college athlete with stormy, violent passions, and a hidden cache of ardent, almost pornographic letters all suggest a mystery more brutal and elusive than any tackled by the fictional detectives she studies.
And still, a killer walks the streets of Oxford, protected by the night, empowered by violence, and determined to exact a bloody revenge for a crime of passion.

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. The handsome student who lived at 57 West Street died there too, his brutal murderer never brought to justice. For Terry Williams, returning to Oxford University to complete a doctorate in detective fiction, the house's macabre history simply means it's cheap. She never suspected the twisted passsions that led to the student's death would entwine around her own life. A stray cat traumatized by some past act of cruelty, a hidden cache of pornography, a close neighbor's illicit love affair . . . soon Terry is drawn into a mystery more chilling than any in her fictional studies. And back in the classroom she is uncovering a secret, erotic side to academia, where moral rules are suspended and where a tragic obsession may prove deadly for the innocent . . . or for a woman seeing too clearly into a killer's dark and merciless heart.
