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.
Next On Intrigue: Ransom Man.
What would you do if your deepest secrets were held to ransom? Jenny Kleeman investigates one of the world’s most audacious hacks.
When a shocking data breach takes place at a Finnish psychotherapy service, the nation’s darkest secrets are held to ransom by a faceless hacker. He calls himself ransom_man.
Award-winning journalist Jenny Kleeman (BBC Radio 4’s The Gift) traces the story from the first extortion email to the hunt to find the hacker and bring him to justice.
We all have some thoughts we’d never write down. Now, just imagine that a criminal had got hold of those thoughts, and was threatening to publish them for all the world to see if you didn’t pay to stop him. Jenny finds out what kind of person is prepared to terrorise a nation like this, and the lengths people will go to fight back. On the way, she’ll discover that the origins of this dark crime stretch far beyond Finland. Her extraordinary quest leads her around the world and to unexpected places, bringing Jenny face to face with victims, investigators, police and notorious hackers themselves.
It is a cautionary tale about something that could happen anywhere, to any of us, again and again.
Jenny will learn just how vulnerable our deepest secrets can be – and the enormous power that hackers now have to hold our inner lives to ransom.
