“Poison” is one of the last words Nedda Courtland’s wealthy employer speaks in the hours before his death.

With no evidence of murder, she can only fulfill Mr. Ingram’s last wishes as the executrix of his will and wield her proxy to disrupt the negotiations with an oil company.

She never expects another murder.
