Description

Former spy Maggie Bird thought she’d left danger behind when she moved to the peaceful coastal town of Purity, Maine. But her quiet life didn’t last long, as enemies from the past resurfaced, bringing threats she barely survived. Relying on her sharp mind and the clever efforts of her book club friends, known as the Martini Club—a group of former CIA operatives meeting over cocktails and mystery novels—Maggie narrowly escaped with her life.

Their success, however, caught the eye of Purity’s young police chief, Jo Thibodeau. Now, an uneasy partnership has formed between Jo and these unlikely local sleuths. When a teenager suddenly goes missing and Maggie’s neighbor is named the prime suspect, Maggie steps in to clear her friend’s name. Pressure mounts as the missing girl’s affluent family demands swift justice.

Then, authorities uncover a decades-old body hidden in a nearby pond, complicating an already difficult case. As disturbing connections to long-hidden secrets begin to emerge, Jo is faced with solving two perplexing mysteries at once. Working against the clock, Maggie and the Martini Club plunge into a chilling search, desperate to unravel the tangled web of secrets before anyone else disappears.
