Amelia Hartliss, known to her friends as 'Melia' and her enemies as 'Heartless', is not enjoying the pandemic or lockdown. She is finding her life is being threatended, and those who seem like old friends are turning out to be not as helpful as she assumed they would be.
Such as Jan Branch. She looks like an unassuming old lady, a helpful retired woman - so why do they call her the 'Gun Running Granny', out in the Far East?
And John Lewis. A delightful young man that Melia met on holiday. Did Melia make a mistake in inviting him to 'come and visit her', back home?
It's just one problem after another, and most of them go back to the Batter Family, who look like successful business people, but could they be gangsters?
Melia is struggling. There seems to be no one she can trust. And the stress is starting to get to her.
She has been on this case too long, she tells herself. It needs to come to and end.
Of course, a happy ending would be the best. Is that possible?
