Perfect for you if...

You love spy thrillers with older protagonists who are sharp as ever and refuse to fade quietly into retirement.
You enjoy mysteries set in small towns where the locals have surprising depths and dangerous pasts.
You want a crew dynamic like Ocean's Eleven but with seasoned intelligence officers trading stories over martinis instead of planning heists.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your thrillers to move at breakneck speed with constant action and minimal downtime.
You prefer standalone novels and aren't interested in settling into a series.
You find retired protagonists less compelling than young, hungry ones still building their careers.

About this book

Maggie Bird, a retired CIA operative, has settled into a quiet life on her chicken farm in the seaside village of Purity, Maine, hoping to leave her past behind after a mission went tragically wrong. When a body appears in her driveway, she recognizes it as a message from former enemies who have not forgotten her. Maggie reaches out to her local circle of retired CIA friends—the "Martini Club"—to help identify who is trying to kill her and why. Though retired, these former spies still possess useful skills and are willing to use them again. Purity's acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau, becomes involved in the investigation. Unaccustomed to handling homicide cases, Jo grows puzzled by Maggie's evasiveness and her unusual circle of friends, who seem to stay ahead of the official investigation at every turn. As Jo's work intersects with the Martini Club's efforts, Maggie's search for answers pulls her back through a clandestine career that took her across the globe—from Bangkok to Istanbul, London to Malta. With help from her friends and the reluctant Jo Thibodeau, Maggie works to protect the life she has built.
