'I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!' ANN CLEEVES
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
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.
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 * Publishers Weekly *
