The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax

Summary

Dropping everything—Art Association tea, Garden Club film, shopping list—Mrs. Pollifax, the intrepid Emily Pollifax from New Brunswick, New Jersey, answers the call of Carstairs of the CIA to act as courier. Agent Magda Ferenci-Sabo is missing in Istanbul, and Carstairs needs a courier to contact her.

But this courier must be above suspicion, unknown to the dark world of cross and double-cross in the Turkish capital where every friend is a potential enemy. He or she must have no record, no “profile.” Mrs. Pollifax fits the bill exactly. The only question left unanswered is: Will Mrs. Pollifax do it? Of course she will. What Emily Pollifax begins, Emily Pollifax finishes.
