On a chilly February evening in 1791, Nella waits for her next customer in her apothecary business behind a somber London street. Once a well-respected healer, Nella now uses her skills for a much darker purpose: she sells poisons that are expertly "deguisés" to despondent women who want to kill the men who keep them from living. However, Eliza Fanning, a 12-year-old girl, seems to be its new customer.
Unexpected friendship develops between them, setting off a series of events that might potentially expose every woman whose name appears on Nella's registry.
Today in London, Caroline Parcewell celebrates her tenth wedding anniversary alone, still struggling with her husband's infidelity. Une vieille fiole d'apothicaire découverte sur les bords de la Tamise la pousse à enquêter et à découvrir une affaire qui an afflicté Londres deux siècles auparavant : « L'apothicaire tueuse en série ». And while she continues her research, Caroline's life will end along with Nella's and Eliza's. And none will survive it...
