Mastermind of Murder (2021)
Synopsis
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.
