Maggie Bird wears many hats. She's a chicken farmer, a good neighbour, and appears to be just an average retiree residing in the quaint seaside town of Purity. However, she's also an exceptionally skilled rifle shot and someone who never discusses her past.

When an unidentified body appears on Maggie's driveway, it serves as a calling card from her former life. It's been fifteen years since the mission that went awry, ending her career as a spy and costing her much more than just her job.

Enter the 'Martini Club' - outwardly, Maggie's book group of silver-haired friends, but in truth, her fellow former spies. Together, with help from her old comrades and always staying one step ahead of a tenacious local cop, Maggie might still manage to preserve the life she’s created.

The Spy Coast is the first novel in the Martini Club series.
