Les poisons dans les romans policiers
Le poison est un moyen classique de réduire quelqu'un au silence, dans les romans policiers — que ce soit de façon temporaire (le terme de poison est alors un peu fort) ou permanente. Cette page propose un petit inventaire, certainement incomplet, de quelques-uns de ces poisons. Les liens renvoient à des pages présentant quelques caractéristiques de ces poisons. Si vous avez des informations complémentaires à ce propos, n'hésitez pas à m'en faire part. Je ferai de mon mieux pour les intégrer à cette page. Notons enfin que, bien que les poisons figurent en bonne part dans ce recensement, quelques autres produits chimiques utilisés à des fins diverses y sont aussi mentionnés. Arsenic À tout seigneur, tout honneur : commençons par le plus célèbre des poisons, l'arsenic. Quelques romans en faisant tout de même usage : au XIVe siècle déjà, on empoisonnait à l'arsenic. Enfin, il faut noter les mélanges à base d'arsenic. acide Chlorhydrique Cyanure Quelques romans en faisant usage : Oxydes de carbone
Agatha Christie
Very prolific British author of mystery novels and short stories, creator of Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective, and Miss Jane Marple. Christie wrote more than 70 detective novels under the surname of her first husband, Colonel Archibald Christie. She also published a series of romances and a children's book. '"And now, messieurs et mesdames," said Poirot rapidly, "I will continue with what I was about to say. Agatha Christie was born in Torquay, in the county of Devon, the daughter of Frederick Alvah Miller, an American with a moderate private income, and Clarissa Boehmer Miller, the daughter of an army Captain. Christie was first educated at home, and at sixteen she was sent to school in Paris, where she studied singing and piano. In 1914 Christie married Archibald Christie, an officer in the Flying Royal Corps; their daughter, Rosalind, was born in 1919. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd had a great success on the London stage in 1928. Christie's marriage broke up in 1926.
