This latest assignment for Mrs Pollifax seems a snap.
She just has to shoot some pictures at a quiet funeral outside Washington and take them to Sicily, where her old friend Farrell, a former CIA agent turned art dealer, anxiously awaits them.
But Mrs P.'s welcoming committee in Palermo includes a most unlikely CIA agent and several unseen enemies. With mysterious forces hot after them, she and Farrell scurry for safety to a fortified villa, where the chatelaine is almost as unnerving as the dangers she's protecting them from.
Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.
