These days, she's living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when a body turns up in Maggie's driveway, she knows it's a message from former foes who haven't forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends--all retirees from the CIA--to help uncover the truth about who is trying to kill her, and why. This \"Martini Club\" of former spies may be retired, but they still have a few useful skills that they're eager to use again, if only to spice up their rather sedate new lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplicating their efforts is Purity's acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau. More accustomed to dealing with rowdy tourists than homicide, Jo is puzzled by Maggie's reluctance to share information--and by her odd circle of friends, who seem to be a step ahead of her at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Jo's investigation collides with the Martini Club's maneuvers, Maggie's hunt for answers will force her to revisit a clandestine career that spanned the globe, from Bangkok to Istanbul, from London to Malta. The ghosts of her past have returned, but with the help of her friends--and the reluctant Jo Thibodeau--Maggie might just be able to save the life she's built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas \u0026amp; Mercer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662515125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tess Gerritsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112123728053,"sku":"9781662515125","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f122e7bb-edbb-4c73-a791-46f8a6079c2d.jpg?v=1693929194","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-spy-coast-a-thriller-9781662515125","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
