INTRODUCING THE ENIGMATIC MAGGIE BIRD. . .
IN A RIVETING NEW SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She”s also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past.

But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie”s driveway, she knows it”s a calling card from old times. It”s been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.

Step forward the ”Martini Club” – Maggie”s silver-haired book group (to anyone who asks), and a cohort of former spies behind closed doors. With the help of her old friends – and always one step ahead of the persistent local cop – Maggie might still be able to save the life she”s built.

IT”S THE PERFECT PLACE TO RETIRE . . . UNTIL THEY FIND YOU.
