IN A RIVETING NEW SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She s also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past. But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie s driveway, she knows it s a calling card from old times. It s been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.
