Bad Influence

Jinx Sullivan should be enjoying a peaceful retirement in the Cotswolds - but peace has never really been her style. In the 1950s Jinx teamed up with WW2 spy Penny Williamson for a series of dangerous adventures which saw them dodging the CIA in Florence and plotting heists in swinging London. Their partnership went up in smoke in the 60s but Penny's bad influence lingered on. Now 89 Jinx craves one last escapade. She's determined to return to Florence in search of hidden treasure. The problem? She can only get there on a coach trip with the village gossips and her angry teenage helper Thea in tow. Jinx must deal with old grievances and long-hidden secrets (and bodies). But perhaps there's a final chance at redemption too (if the carabinieri don't get to her first).
