Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled - Dorothy Gilman

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Mrs. Pollifax gives Agatha Christie's Miss Marple a rival to reckon with."-The Toronto Star

After facing down hijackers on a flight to the Middle East and saving the lives of
the passengers on board, a young American woman steps off the plane in Damascus in
a blaze of celebrity and disappears. The CIA believes Amanda Pym was kidnapped, possibly
murdered.

Masquerading as Amanda Pym's worried aunt, Mrs. Pollifax begins her determined
search, slipping through Damascus's crooked streets and crowded souks . . . and trekking
deep into the desert. Yet she is shadowed by deadly enemies, whose sinister agenda
threatens not only Mrs. P. but the fragile stability of the entire Middle East. Only
a miracle-or a brilliant counterplot-can forestall a disaster that will send shock
waves around the world.

"Ms. Gilman has a nice, relaxed style and an easygoing way of telling a story."-The New York Times Book Review
