Red Is the New Gray Judith A Barrett

MAGGIE SLOAN. Former librarian, self-trained spy, and breakfast cook has the skills of a deadly assassin. When brilliant, literal Maggie is the only person a missing spy trusts, she agrees to go to Galveston, Texas for two weeks to find him. Her unforgettable team and Larry, a police officer from her hometown, accompany her.

Maggie, aka Gray Lady, wears her new red Western boots to blend in as a fill-in lunch cook at a diner. Before the end of the week, she's been shot, and the attacks escalate. Maggie, Larry, and Maggie's men are determined to stop the assailants.

Maggie's trusted contacts are few, and she and Larry struggle through the disturbing clues that indicate the guilt of everyone they meet. How does her sheer presence threaten the unknown operation of a hidden leader and his thugs? How many more people will die before Maggie uncovers the vicious criminal who has eluded discovery for so long?
