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.

'Gerritsen is a born storyteller, and this new series showcases her talents more than ever. Irresistible and highly recommended!' LEE CHILD

'Echoes of Richard Osman but Gerritsen offers us a darker and consistently exciting thriller' THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

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

Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy rooms. Her thrillers starring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles inspired the hit TV series Rizzoli & Isles. But Tess's interests span far more than medicine and crime. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world, driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena.

Reviews for The Spy Coast

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! * Lee Child * 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 *
