BEING RETIRED HAS NEVER BEEN MORE DANGEROUS . . .

Maggie Bird’s ‘book group’ is an unusual one – a group of retired spies living an anonymous life in the quiet town of Purity. Today they are visiting the Cod Cove Resort for a terrifying conference on global catastrophe.
But a murder at the hotel coincides with the return of an old flame for ex-spy Ingrid - a CIA agent she worked with decades ago, in an operation that ended in the deaths of three people. Has the killer resurfaced after all these years?

When Ingrid abruptly vanishes, her husband Lloyd is devastated. He has no experience in the field, but he’ll stop at nothing to track down his wife - wherever in the world she is. With a concerned Maggie at his side, Lloyd unwittingly sets off a chain of events that threatens Ingrid's life.

Meanwhile in Maine, local cop Jo Thibodeau and the rest of the covert cohort uncover startling evidence that turns all their assumptions upside down . . .
