Now if Michael Tangney reading a copy of Needle shows up in the Needle photo contest...
What a sad story. But it's not as unusual as you might think: according to a forensic toxicologist I met, antifreeze is the #1 "poison of choice" in the US right now. It's easy to get, simple to use, and hard to trace. But I truly hope my NEEDLE story doesn't inspire any copycats!
Let's hope not. Loved the story, by the way.
Thanks, Bill. That's so kind of you to say!
