INTRODUCING MAGGIE BIRD

IN A RIVETING NEW SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmerA 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 timesIt''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.
