When Karen Granger, the beautiful young wife of renowned author Robin Granger, suddenly disappears from their country home, Robin immediately fears the worst.
Enlisting the help of his lifelong friend and confidante Martin Beck, who also happens to be a police officer, they soon learn that Karen has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom.
Unwilling to involve the police and deal with the publicity that will inevitably follow, Martin agrees to handle the situation off the record and help an anguished Robin deal with the situation.
At first, it seems they have reached a solution, however events later take an unexpected twist.
As Robin, with the help of his neighbour Simon Mallett and his agent Derek, grows more determined than ever to exact revenge on the criminals who kidnapped his wife, the situation quickly escalates, resulting in murder and betrayal.
Can he really trust those around him, or have his friends secretly become his enemies?
One man's gift becomes another man's poison...
Another Man's Poison is a gripping crime thriller novel from master of the genre J F Straker.
'A perfectly plotted story that is both chilling and memorable.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of The Lunar Code.
J F Straker was born in Farnborough, Kent and lived in Sussex. During the war he served with The Buffs and on the General Staff and then became a schoolmaster. His interest in writing began at an early age but it was not until the war when he had to spend long periods in the desert with very little distraction that he completed his first novel. He was the author of twenty-five novels including Murder of Miss Emily and Death on a Sunday Morning.
