Dive into the shadowy world of media mogul Robert Maxwell in our season premiere of Sinners and Secrets. From the ashes of World War II rose a man determined to never again be powerless—a Holocaust survivor who transformed himself into one of the world's most influential figures before his mysterious death at sea changed everything.

Maxwell's journey from poverty in Czechoslovakia to the pinnacle of power reveals a masterclass in ambition and manipulation. We trace his strategic rise through the publishing world, from academic journals to tabloid newspapers, examining how he built an empire while cultivating connections with intelligence agencies and political elites across the globe. But beneath the veneer of success lurked increasingly desperate financial fraud.

This three-part investigation goes beyond sensational headlines to examine the true cost of unchecked ambition. We connect the dots between Robert Maxwell's mysterious demise and his daughter Ghislaine's later entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein, revealing disturbing patterns of power, privilege, and exploitation that span generations. What really happened on the Lady Ghislaine that fateful night? Share your theories with us as we continue our journey through the dark corridors of wealth and influence.
