This week we're off to New York to tell the tale of Robert Buchanan, a doctor who thought he deserved a place in high society and was quite sure that he could get away with murder.

What was Dr Buchanan's secret to disguising signs of morphine poisoning? Why did he use such tiny spoons? And how often have you been accused of hysteria while dying? 

This week's secret ingredient is...belladonna.
