Synopses & Reviews
What's a nice lady like Mrs. Pollifax doing disguised as a bag lady on the mean streets of Manhattan? Obviously, major skulduggery is afoot.
The Connecticut matron--and CIA secret weapon--is on loan to her former-CIA friend Farrell. Her bag lady act is the first phase of a mission to the Middle East to make contact with a smuggler of most unusual, and highly volatile, contraband: the final manuscript of a dissident Iraqi novelist, recently murdered in an Iraqi prison. Allegedly fiction, the script encodes the shocking truth of Saddam Hussein's reign.
But she is hardly airborne when the coils of Middle Eastern intrigue begin insidiously to enfold her....
Her most topical adventure, MRS. POLLIFAX, INNOCENT TOURIST keeps this long-time mystery favorite more current than ever.
Dorothy Gilman divides her time between Connecticut and New Mexico.
