Chapter 13 - The Toxicology Report Reveals a Terrifying Vintage Poison

The lead detective walked into the interrogation room and slid the official government document across the table.
“It’s called ‘Atropa Belladonna extract mixed with hemlock root,’ a custom-brewed herbal vintage poison,” the detective explained.
“It hasn't been legally manufactured in North America since the early nineteen-eighties.”
Margaret’s lawyer leaned over the paperwork, his confident expression instantly turning pale.
“This is a federal felony offense involving premeditated poisoning and historical homicide investigations,” the lawyer warned her.
Margaret crossed her arms tightly, still refusing to utter a single word in her own defense.
“Where did you get the recipe, Margaret?” the detective pressed forward relentlessly.
