  1. Good quote. I used it for the title of my new mystery novel, The Surest Poison, just published by Night Shadows Press. The story involves the dumping of a massive amount of trichloroethylene behind a small plant west of Nashville. The time factor comes in since the pollution took place years ago but is just now showing up through health problems in the area.
