On an August morning in 2017, a Spanish engineer named Antonio Navarro Cerdán left his home in the quiet Valencian neighbourhood of Patraix to head off to work, just as he would every other weekday. But on this particular Wednesday, Antonio never made it to the office; he didn’t even get behind the wheel of his car. As he made his way through his building’s garage, he was stabbed in the chest with a kitchen knife and left to die in the car park.
When she learned of his harrowing murder, Antonio’s wife María slipped into the role of the grieving widow, aghast at this seemingly random attack. It didn’t take long, though, for suspicion to turn upon María herself. Was she in fact the black widow at the centre of a spider’s web of infidelity, jealousy and deceit?
