Any decent spy agency with a really dirty tricks department has to have access to an array of better poisons.

This is horse’s-head-on-the-bed grade organized crime thuggery. (Not to be confused with thuggeery, which used a strangling cord.)

It’s what I call implausible deniability. You’re supposed to know exactly who is responsible and be scared of them. There’s just enough deniability to allow people to claim that they don’t know who did it and so they act due to fear without repercussions for being afraid.
