The best way to get away with murder is to have someone else do it for you, which is why the most cunning killers never lay a finger on their victims. In these cases love, loyalty, faith, and family become dangerous weapons, and the most vicious criminal isn't the one who pulled the trigger--it's the one who pulled their strings.
