Although Mrs. Pollifax is determined to give up spying for good, she can't help but agree to carry a small object to an agent in Thailand, and get one in return. The moment she lands, however, Mrs. Pollifax is horrified to find her contact dead and her husband kidnapped. The next thing she knows, she's tramping through the ominous Thai countryside, led by a curious fellow who may be trying to help her find her husband. Or he may have other, more sinister plans.
Mrs Emily Pollifax is a
practical yet imaginative white-haired NJ widow with unusual hats and a
brown belt in karate who volunteers for the CIA, answering to agents
Carstairs and Bishop, around the world. Simple always becomes dangerous
