Summary

The most lovable and unlikely of international spies! – perfect for fans of Miss Seeton

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

Description

"What we are looking for - aside from the stolen plutonium, Mrs Pollifax - is evil in its purest form."

Emily Pollifax is leading a very full life: garden club, karate, yoga - and a little spying now and then. This time the CIA sends her to a famous Swiss health resort where the world's intelligence agents have gathered. The mission: to track down some missing plutonium. Just enough to make a small atom bomb.

She is good with people - and good at sniffing out their secrets. But it is not until she becomes enchanted with Robin, the young jewel thief, that her adventure really begins.

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

About the Author

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.
