About the Book



Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most lovable and most unlikely of international spies.



Book Synopsis



Mrs Pollifax is sent on a safari to smoke out an international assassin whose next target is the president of Zambia.


"Just take a lot of pictures of everyone on that safari," the CIA man told her. "One of them has to be our man." It sounded simple enough.


But it wasn't. Because shortly after she started taking pictures, someone stole her film. And right after that she was kidnapped by Rhodesian terrorists. And right after that - well, read for yourself ...


Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.


What readers are saying:

"Love, love, love Mrs Pollifax. Ms Gilman has an extraordinary way of keeping you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages of her books."

"How can a sweet little old lady get into so much trouble? Mrs Pollifax is a gem and a hoot!"

"A book that gives you a big smile on every page. I'm looking forward to my next Mrs Pollifax adventure."

"Who wouldn't fall in love with a senior citizen who wears absurd hats, pushes the book cart at the hospital, and knows karate?"

"I first read the Mrs Pollifax books when I was a little girl and I keep coming back to read the books again and again."

"Read it, it's the best thing you can do for yourself. It's like a reminder of the zest for life."
