Mustalla huumorilla maustettu vakoojatrilleri nautitaan ravistettuna, ei sekoitettuna.Maggie Bird elää hiljaista elämää pikkukaupungissa Mainessa. Hän pitää tiiviisti yhteyttä naapureihin ja käy säännöllisesti kirjakerhon tapaamisissa - tosin useammin kumoamassa martineita ja juoruamassa kuin keskustelemassa kirjallisuudesta.Tai siltä kaikki ainakin näyttää. Oikeasti Maggie, kuten muutkin saman kirjakerhon jäsenet, on eläköitynyt salaisen palvelun agentti. Kun Maggien pihatieltä löytyy ruumis, hän on varma että kyseessä on viesti. Vanhat kollegat apunaan hän ryhtyy selvittämään tapausta, eikä paikalliselta poliisilta jää huomaamatta, että joukko eläkeläisiä on häntä askelen edellä.

Taidokkaasti punottu trilleri jatkaa rakastetun kirjailijan Martiniklubi-sarjaa.Maggie Bird on eläköitynyt salaisen palvelun agentti, joka viettää hiljaiseloa pienessä rannikkokaupungissa. Menneisyys ei kuitenkaan jätä häntä rauhaan, ja paikallinen poliisipäällikkökin kiinnostuu Maggien taustasta. Kun teini-ikäinen tyttö katoaa, joutuu Maggie turvautumaan vanhoihin taitoihinsa. Hän ryhtyy tutkimaan tapausta todistaakseen ystävänsä syyttömyyden - apunaan vanhoista vakoojakollegoista koostuva Martiniklubi. Kun lähistöltä löytyy toinenkin ruumis, tapaus mutkistuu ja järkyttävät yhteydet kauan sitten haudattuihin salaisuuksiin alkavat paljastua.

In April came the rains. In August came the heat. In November came the horror. It's paying a return visit.
