Killing Eve meets The Thursday Murder Club in this exhilarating thriller, introducing retired spy Maggie Bird.
'The Spy Coast is The Thursday Murder Club on steroids' SAGA Magazine
'I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!' ANN CLEEVES
NOW A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 5 BESTSELLER!
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.
The Spy Coast is the first novel in the Martini Club series.

'Action-packed pages, G-force twists and turns, and a platoon of fascinating characters' DAVID BALDACCI

International bestselling author TESS GERRITSEN began to write
fiction whilst on maternity leave as a physician. She published her
first novel in 1987 and has since sold over forty million copies of
her books in forty countries.
Her series featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical
examiner Maura Isles inspired the television series Rizzoli and
Isles, starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.
Now retired from medicine, she lives in Maine and writes full time.
Powerful, resonant, absorbing, freighted with menace and suspense .
. .
Gerritsen is a born storyteller, and this new series showcases her
talents more than ever. Irresistible and highly recommended!

I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!
*Ann Cleeves, No.1 bestselling author and creator of Vera and
Shetland*
The Spy Coast is a marvellously plotted read with action-packed
pages, G-force twists and turns, and a platoon of fascinating
characters.
I truly hope to see Maggie Bird and her team of silver-haired
helpers on the pages again.
*David Baldacci*
A riveting tale filled with engaging characters. I look forward to
the rest of the series.
*Kathy Reichs*
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 (starred review)*
Compelling reading throughout, with astute characterizations, a
fast-moving but understandable spy plot, and lashings of dark
humor. Gerritsen fans and readers of Richard Osman’s Thursday
Murder Club mysteries will love this
*Booklist (starred review)*
Amusing and exciting . . . Maggie and her grey-haired tribe are
more than capable of helming a long-running series
