Just recently married, Mrs Pollifax is persuaded at a moment's notice to travel to Hong Kong on a new mission.
There a young agent, Sheng Ti, holds the answers to goings on at the sinister Feng Imports - a one-time agency front.
Mrs Pollifax has earned Sheng's trust, and only she can possibly stop what turns out to be an ominous plot involving drugs, smuggled diamonds, a famous burglar turned Interpol agent, a mysterious psychic, and, of course, murder ... possibly her own.
Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.
