Ep267 - The Widow-Maker Syndicate

In the shadow of World War I, a horrifying epidemic of murder took root in the quiet, isolated farming village of Nagyrév, Hungary. Driven by the desire to escape abusive arranged marriages, and oppressive household dynamics, a secret society of local women turned to a mysterious midwife named Susanna Fazekas. Armed with an "untraceable" lethal solution boiled down from everyday flypaper, what began as a desperate means of self-defense quickly spiraled into a decade-long syndicate of greed and convenience. For years, a corrupt local coroner and deep-seated village superstition kept the soaring body count hidden under the guise of natural causes. But when a national census finally exposes a statistically impossible death rate, investigators unearth a nightmare of domestic poisonings that erased entire family trees, and prove that in Nagyrév, every home-cooked meal could be a death sentence. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Widow-Maker Syndicate!
