Description

We're back with another Deadly Dose re-release! In this episode, Megan talks about the most incredible poisoning/assassination event to have occurred in the 21st century: the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, half-brother of Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un. What starts as an investigation into two women accused as assassins, develops into an unbelievable plot of geopolitical intrigue, an elaborate network of North Korean agents, a deadly nerve toxin, months of orchestration, and two unsuspecting women manipulated by the promise of stardom.
