by Dorothy Gilman (Author)
"You are in effect replacing a dead man, Mrs Pollifax ..."
When Emily Pollifax answers the phone that morning, all thoughts of her garden club tea in the afternoon have to wait. Her CIA handler is asking if she could leave immediately on a mission that would take her halfway across the world. What can she say but yes?
Once again she finds herself off on an incredible escapade of international intrigue ... this time from the exotic towns and countryside of inner Turkey, to a mysterious rendezvous with a gypsy caravan.
Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.
