Abstract

An interview is presented with author Sandra Hempel. Hempel states that the inspiration for her 2013 book "The Inheritor's Powder: A Tale of Arsenic, Murder & the New Forensic Science" came from a research paper on criminal poisoning in the 19th century. She states that her own research surprised her by the haphazard nature of criminal justice in that time. Hempel states that creating the book's structure was the most challenging part of its authorship.
