Spies and Cyanide
Written by Mia Canavan Schaefer
Produced by Jerri Wiseman
Directed by Terry Smith
Cast: Betsy Hansen, Bill Kirkendale, and Ilan Komrad
1779: Step into the shadows of the American Revolution and uncover the daring world of the Culper Spy Ring—the secret intelligence network that helped turn the tide of history. When loyalist printer James Rivington is found murdered, British intelligence launches an urgent investigation. But as clues begin to surface, it becomes clear this is no ordinary crime. A deeper conspiracy is unfolding—one that could expose the hidden operations of the Culper Ring. Join the hunt, unravel the mystery, and find the killer before the truth is revealed.
