Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha

Newly married Mrs. Pollifax has just begun to settle into blissful domesticity with husband Cyrus, when who should come bumping and jolting up her driveway but Bishop, his fingertips in a veritable tingle over a new case.

And with less than 30 minutes to pack, Mrs. Pollifax is on her way to Hong Kong in pursuit of an agent who has stopped informing, and a friend who for all purposes has vanished into thin air.

But Mrs. Pollifax soon discovers that she cannot go unscathed in this unpredictable world of terrorism and moral anarchy. Her adversaries are people who murder eagerly, casually, and at the twitch of a finger.

Mrs. Pollifax’s indomitable spirit has endured much, but this time the dreadful odds may be too great, even for her.
