Inspirada en la vida de Pilar Prades, última mujer condenada a muerte y ejecutada a garrote vil durante el franquismo, Veneno nos adentra en la España negra de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Nacida en el seno de una familia pobre del medio rural, fue enviada a trabajar como sirvienta a la temprana edad de 12 años a Valencia, donde intentó reconstruir su maltrecha existencia y encontrar su lugar en el mundo, sin embargo, abandonada por sus seres queridos y repudiada por cuantos se acercaban a ella, terminó por perpetrar su particular venganza. La vida de Pilar estuvo marcada por los abusos y la necesidad, su familia maltratada por el triunvirato de poder que decidía el destino de todos los habitantes del pueblo donde nació, Bejís. Con la guerra civil y postguerra como telón de fondo, la novela nos narra las vicisitudes de un puñado de personajes de diferentes ideologías, naturalezas y personalidades, una novela potente y descarnada en la que nadie habría pasado a la historia de España de no ser por el terrible camino que decidió seguir su protagonista y su fatídico destino.Como curiosidad acerca de los hechos narrados en la novela, la insólita ejecución de Pilar Prades inspiró al director de cine Luis García Berlanga para crear su obra maestra, El Verdugo.
