The Spy Coast
What you need to know before your trail
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.

Travel Guide
Purity, Maine
The idea for this book came about as the author lives in a small seaside town in Main and discovered that there were a lot of people there who were elderly and had worked in some way for the CIA. Well, that got her antenna going and this novel is the result.
There is not a real place called Purity but the author lives in Camden and that looks very similar….
Plenty of other places pop up – Bangkok, Malta and Rome to name but a few! These are fleeting – the main one is Purity, Maine.
