Toxic Family Blood

In his first crime novel "Toxic Family Blood," Uwe Trostmann lets Chief Inspector Steve Brennan and his assistant Roberta Foster deal with mysterious cases of poisoning that originated in Scotland many hundreds of years ago.

Exciting crime story that has its origins in Scotland in the 15th century. An old family feud is rekindled and the murderer poisons young people in revenge. Inspectors Steve Brennan and Roberta Foster use all their skills to solve the mystery of these poisonings.

What do a skeleton from the Middle Ages, a dead woman who was murdered 27 years ago and a corpse in the trunk have to do with each other - except that they all have a distinctive mark on their forehead? While Chief Inspector Steve Brennan and his assistant Inspector Roberta Foster investigate on the northern coast of Scotland, more women are killed in England. All were killed with henbane poison. After a lengthy search and pursuit, the inspectors are able to arrest the perpetrator, but the murder continues in the same pattern: this time of young men. Are they ritual murders or is there an ancient family feud behind it? Will Steve Brennan and Roberta Foster solve this mystery?
