The Venom Business (sh. Posao sa otrovom) je roman američkog književnika Michaela Crichtona objavljen 1969. godine pod pseudonimom John Lange. Protagonist je Charles Raymond, američki krotitelj zmija koji u Meksiku skuplja zmijski otrov za potrebe američkih farmaceutskih tvrtki, a što je zapravo krinka za pravi posao krijumčara arheoloških artefakata i umjetnina. Radnja prikazuje kako ga školski prijatelj Richard Pierce angažira kao tjelohranitelja, odnosno kao ispomoć u nastojanju da nakon očeve smrti uzme nasljedstvo od promiskuitetne pomajke. The Venom Busines je bila prva tvrdoukoričena knjiga u Crichtonovoj karijeri^[1], ali je uglavnom dobila loše kritike^[2]^[3]
