These days, she\u2019s living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement.<\/p>\n<p>But when a body turns up in Maggie\u2019s driveway, she knows it\u2019s a message from former foes who haven\u2019t forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends\u2015all retirees from the CIA\u2015to help uncover the truth about who is trying to kill her, and why. This \u201cMartini Club\u201d of former spies may be retired, but they still have a few useful skills that they\u2019re eager to use again, if only to spice up their rather sedate new lives.<\/p>\n<p>Complicating their efforts is Purity\u2019s acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau. More accustomed to dealing with rowdy tourists than homicide, Jo is puzzled by Maggie\u2019s reluctance to share information\u2015and by her odd circle of friends, who seem to be a step ahead of her at every turn.<\/p>\n<p>As Jo\u2019s investigation collides with the Martini Club\u2019s maneuvers, Maggie\u2019s 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\u2015and the reluctant Jo Thibodeau\u2015Maggie might just be able to save the life she\u2019s built.<\/p>\n<p> <br \/>\n         From the Publisher            <\/p>\n<p>                                             <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Can a former spy outrun the ghosts of her past?\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/sota\/ae0481a9-5250-4045-8898-4f9f797d3c39.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Can a former spy outrun the ghosts of her past?\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/sota\/ae0481a9-5250-4045-8898-4f9f797d3c39.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    Thomas &#038; Mercer (November 1, 2023)   <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    English   <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    363 pages   <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    1662515138   <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    978-1662515132   <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    12.8 ounces   <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    5.5 x 1 x 8.5 inches   <\/p>\n<p><b>Price:<\/b> <span style=\"color:#b12704\"><del>$16.99<\/del> - $8.36<\/span><br \/><i><small>(as of Feb 26, 2025 13:42:18 UTC &#8211; <span class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_disclaimer\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
