A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman

A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman

      
"What we are looking for--aside from the stolen plutonium, Mrs. Pollifax -- is evil in its purest form."

Mrs. Pollifax was leading a very full life: Garden Club, karate, environment, yoga--and a little spying now and then.

This time the mysterious Mr. Carstairs sent her to Switzerland--to a famous health resort where the world's intelligence agents had gathered. Well, one other spy. A waiter named Marcel.

The mission: to track down a missing package of plutonium. Enough to make a small atom bomb.

It was a job that suited Mrs. Pollifax's talents. She was good with people--and good at sniffing out their secrets.

But it was not until she became enchanted with Robin, the young jewel thief, that her new adventure really began... .
