The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax

Mrs. Pollifax has a beautiful new hat, an event worthy of the attention of the Garden Club in New Brunswick. But only Mrs. Pollifax and that nice Mr. Carstairs at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, know it conceals not only Mrs. Pollifax’s remarkable brain but also eight false passports. All Mrs. Pollifax has to do is deliver them to a man called Tsanko in Bulgaria. Simple.

But, as fans and followers of the exquisite Mrs. Pollifax know by now, nothing is ever plainly simple nor ever less than wildly adventurous. Using fireworks, a bow and arrow, and a gaggle of geese, Mrs. Pollifax must engineer an escape from a Bulgarian prison—a little more problematic than smuggling some passports.
