The Expert: The Sardonic Smile

on BBC One London

by Robert Barr
Starring Marius Goring
with Ann Morrish
and Victor Winding, Michael Farnsworth, Valerie Murray

A tightening of the chest, a sudden convulsion. Only the heels and head touching the floor. Like a bow. Face muscles tightening, eyes staring, teeth clenched, lips pulled back into a sardonic smile. The classic symptoms of strychnine poisoning...
When a wealthy landowner dies after eating a trout, freshly caught -the question is who poisoned him? And how?
