Mercury Rising at Ivy League
Strange Theft leaves authorities baffled.
When I was writing No Witnesses (a Boldt novel) I interviewed an infectious disease specialist about what poison could be stolen and later used to contaminate soup in an effort to kill. This article struck me as so similar: someone stealing a substance that over time might be used for.... well, you'll see.

So, can we look for this to appear in a future book? I mean, aside from the obvious poisoning (and blaming it on fish) scenario, it could also be used to make sabotage look like an accident. (Wikipedia says "It [Mercury] was also allegedly used by allied spies to sabotage German planes. A mercury paste was applied to bare aluminium, causing the metal to rapidly corrode. This would cause mysterious structural failures.")
See, Ridley, you've inspired me. Now you've got me thinking of ways to kill people!
