Detective Inspector Rafferty is having a bad week - two pensioner suicides already and he can't help feeling trouble comes in threes. Also niggling in his mind is the fact that Llewellyn, his sergeant, has bought a 'bargain' suit from Rafferty's mother. Sure to be stolen goods, the suit is bound to drop Rafferty in it when the holier-than-thou Llewellyn wears it on his wedding day.

Rafferty's first premonition turns out to be accurate when a company manager is found dead at his desk. Tyrannical Barstaple had known full well that he was hated by most of the office. But did he really deserve to be poisoned?

Bizarre, quirky and ingenious, ABSOLUTE POISON injects a dose of skull and crossbones into the office world of nine to five.
