Intrigue
Gepresenteerd door Jane MacSorley
Erger dan moord – Een tragisch geval van persoonsverwisseling dat Groot-Brittannië schokte en een tabloid-oorlog ontketende. Op een winterse avond in 1969 ontvoerden kidnappers, die het gemunt hadden op de vrouw van Rupert Murdoch, per ongeluk Muriel McKay; zij werd nooit meer teruggezien. Jane MacSorley onderzoekt deze schokkende misdaad, die de politie voor een raadsel stelde, een tabloid-oorlog veroorzaakte en – meer dan 50 jaar later – nog steeds onopgelost is. Intrige: ‘Adembenemend’, ‘meeslepend’, ‘verslavend’, ‘spannend’ – dramatische waargebeurde verhalen en onderzoeken die onthullen hoe de wereld echt in elkaar zit.
