Mrs. Pollifax Pursued

About this book

"Mrs. Gilman has a nice relaxed style and an easygoing way of telling a story....Should delight you whether youre looking for smiles or thrills." --The New York Times Book Review The last thing Mrs. Pollifax expects to find in her junk closet is a young woman hiding. Kadi Hopkirk insists that shes being followed by two men in a dirty white van. Under the cover of darkness Mrs. P. tries to drive Kadi back home to Manhattan only to have a dark green sedan give them a run for their money and Mrs. P. begins to suspect their lives. Finally Kadi shares the startling truth: her friend Sammy is the son of the assassinated president of an African country and unbeknownst to the young mans bodyguard he passed her something under the table during a recent meeting. Ever resourceful Mrs. P. puts in a call for help to her CIA colleague Carstairs who installs them in a safe house--at a carnival! Before Mrs. P. knows it a dash to safety expands into an assignment that leads to hair-trigger violence in exotic places.... "Lively...Funny...Alls right with the world as long as Mrs. Pollifax is part of it." --Mobile Register "This fast-moving tale sports a lively energetic style much like its heroine." --Library Journal From the Paperback edition.
