Synopsis

When murder is in the air, the MacGuffin Sisters take flight. Recruited by WI-5, the British Women's Intelligence Service, three thrill-seeking sisters go undercover on the set of the latest Dynamite McQueen adventure film. But beneath the swinging sixties glamour lies danger as they uncover an audacious plot targeting the Queen of England and the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley. With the whole world watching, the stakes could not be higher. Bookkeeper Reggie, aircraft mechanic Gloria, and cook Loveday race against time to defuse a powder keg of espionage, treachery and show business in the English countryside. From a sinister crime syndicate and secret identities to daredevil dogfights and high-speed chases, every clue pulls the MacGuffins deeper into an incendiary web of intrigue that cuts shockingly close to home. As dangers escalate, can the sisters save England before it's too late? And before teatime? Brace yourself for a thrilling ride of action, suspense, unforgettable twists and vivid characters with Martin Butler's The Queens of Kaboom.

About the Author

Martin Butler is a freelance writer and editor focused on academia. This is his first novel. During the 1960s, his mother and grandmother were stalwart Hertfordshire women's institute members. Martin's childhood memories of WI fêtes and mystery tours lovingly inform the novel's characters and the world they inhabit, as do his real-life adventures: surviving dynamite-throwing protesters in South America, skydiving out of a bullet-ridden plane in Africa and being submerged in a Pacific Ocean sinkhole. He lives in Vancouver, Canada, and is married to a fearless adventurer.
