Crime After Crime: The situation escalates because of this. It starts with a bit of non-violent electronic theft. Then the villains turn to blackmail to cover up the theft. Then they try kidnapping Martha to get Liz to co-operate. Then Threve loses his temper and beats Martha so badly he thinks he's killed her. At which point they figure that since they're already on the hook for murder they might as well give up on coercion and kill Liz too, along with Mayland and anyone else who gets in the way... | |

Bookends: The first thing Martha says to Mayland Long in the first chapter is that with hands like his he should be a piano player. The last thing she says in the final chapter is to offer to teach him to play. | |
