Death in a Distant Land

EXCESS BAGGAGE

It is impossible for the honorable G.D.H. Pringle to refuse his beloved Mavis Bignell anything that her heart desires. A trip to Australia--via Singapore in the Somerset Maugham fashion--would be so romantic. Since it's costing him nothing, Pringle can find no sufficient reason to refuse.

But trust the irrepressible Mavis to liven up any outing. Traveling with Friends of Nuclear Energy on a top secret government mission is one-thing--but helping a nice young man smuggle drugs is quite another. Now the couple has desperate, drug enforcement agents from several continents hot on their trail, and a hit man as well. And then there's that promise to locate a missing boy. . .
