What happens when a retired CIA operative’s quiet coastal life gets interrupted by a corpse in her driveway? In this fresh, propulsive thriller from bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, former spy Maggie Bird discovers that some ghosts refuse to stay buried.

Maggie came to the seaside village of Purity, Maine, seeking peace after a mission went catastrophically wrong. These days, she tends her chicken farm and keeps her head down. But when a body appears on her property, she knows it’s a message—her old enemies haven’t forgotten.

Enter the Martini Club: Maggie’s circle of fellow CIA retirees who may have traded fieldwork for book clubs, but haven’t lost their edge. Together, this unlikely team of senior spies dusts off their tradecraft to uncover who wants Maggie dead, and why. Their investigation spans decades and continents—from Bangkok to Istanbul, London to Malta—as past missions resurface with deadly consequences.

Standing in their way is Jo Thibodeau, Purity’s acting police chief, who’s more accustomed to managing tourists than solving homicides. As Jo’s official investigation collides with the Martini Club’s covert maneuvers, she finds herself drawn into a world of secrets, lies, and international intrigue.

The Spy Coast delivers everything thriller readers crave: razor-sharp suspense, richly drawn characters, and a coastal Maine setting that’s both atmospheric and authentic. Gerritsen proves that retirement doesn’t mean the end of adventure—sometimes, it’s just the beginning.
