**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**‘The Thursday Murder Club on steroids’ SAGA Magazine'Irresistible and highly recommended!' LEE CHILD'I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!' ANN CLEEVES'A nice take on retirement-five old spooks whose bones may ache but whose minds remain sharp. You can expect mystery, action, and bloodshed in this exciting thriller' - Kirkus ***INTRODUCING MAGGIE BIRDIN 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.
