Amazing Mrs Pollifax

"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.

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.
