This latest assignment for Mrs Pollifax seems a snap.

She just has to shoot some pictures at a quiet funeral outside Washington and take them to Sicily, where her old friend Farrell, a former CIA agent turned art dealer, anxiously awaits them.

But Mrs P.’s welcoming committee in Palermo includes a most unlikely CIA agent and several unseen enemies. With mysterious forces hot after them, she and Farrell scurry for safety to a fortified villa, where the chatelaine is almost as unnerving as the dangers she’s protecting them from.

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

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.
