Episode description
True Crime Tuesday presents The Spy Coast with Researcher/Author, Tess Gerritsen
Former spy Maggie Bird came to the village of Purity, Maine, eager to put the past behind her after a mission went tragically wrong. But when a body turns up in Maggie's driveway, she knows it is a message from former foes who haven't forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends -- all retirees from the CIA -- to help find out who is trying to kill her, all while trying to keep their identities hidden from Purity's acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau.
Tess Gerritsen Joins TCT today to talk about the true story that inspired this wonderful new fictional spy book. She also delves into the relationships, themes, and struggles of these characters. and discusses how real retired spies mirror the attitudes and opinions of the retired spies in the book, and some of the surprising survival techniques of a retired spy!
