The Spy Coast by Tess GerritsenA retired CIA operative in small-town Maine tackles the ghosts of her past in this fresh take on the spy thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

Former spy Maggie Bird came to the seaside village of Purity, Maine, eager to put the past behind her after a mission went tragically wrong. These days, she’s living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement.

But when a body turns up in Maggie’s driveway, she knows it’s a message from former foes who haven’t forgotten her. She turns to her local circle of old friends ― all formerly with the CIA ― to help find out who is trying to kill her, and why.

The hunt for answers will force her to revisit a clandestine career that spanned the globe, from Bangkok to Istanbul and London to Malta.

While ghosts of her past may have returned, Maggie might just be able to save the life she’s built with the help of her friends.
