Mrs Pollifax is sent on a safari to smoke out an international assassin whose next target is the president of Zambia.<br/>“Just take a lot of pictures of everyone on that safari,” the CIA man told her. “One of them has to be our man.” It sounded simple enough.<br/>But it wasn’t. Because shortly after she started taking pictures, someone stole her film. And right after that she was kidnapped by Rhodesian terrorists. And right after that – well, read for yourself ...<br/>Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.<br/><br/><br/><br/>What readers are saying:<br/><br/>“Love, love, love Mrs Pollifax. Ms Gilman has an extraordinary way of keeping you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages of her books.”<br/>“How can a sweet little old lady get into so much trouble?
