Martha exposed his corruption. The crimes he tried so hard to bury. Now he's back with a chilling new obsession: burying Martha. A string of threatening letters land on the doorstep of Martha's cozy Victorian terrace. Scrawled in red ink, the message is always the same: Die, bitch. Die. It's game on between Martha and her old adversary - and Tony's playing dirtier than ever. Before long, Martha realizes that someone is leaking secrets to Tony. Secrets that only those closest to Martha could possibly know. Can she shut Tony down - before he makes good on his threats? It's cat-and-mouse to hunt him down, before he catches her first . . .

She doesn't recognize boundaries - she only sees opportunities. Thank goodness she still has old family friend Harry 'The Hat' Martin around to temper her wilder instincts.
