The cheerful Mrs Pollifax is once again plunged headfirst into a hair-raising secret mission.
Posing as a tourist, she is sent on a CIA operation to China, to help rescue a dissident engineer from a labour camp and smuggle him out of the country ... "before the Russians get to him".
Not all goes as planned though - and Mrs P. all but loses her life in the bargain.
Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.

Dorothy Gilman was born in New Jersey, USA in 1923. She enjoyed story-telling from a young age, and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
During the 1950s and early 60s she wrote children's books under her married name Dorothy Gilman Butters. But it was the later Mrs Pollifax series of novels which properly made her name. She travelled extensively and many of her travels fed into Mrs Pollifax's adventures.
Gilman was awarded the annual Grand Master Award by the Mystery Writers of America in 2010. She died in 2012.
