      About This Book

      MEET MRS. POLLIFAX
      Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow with grown, married children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. So, naturally, she became a CIA agent.

      THE UNEXPECTED MRS. POLLIFAX
      In this utterly charming tale of suspense, one of our most famous and unusual fictional spies takes on a 'job" in Mexico City. The assignment doesn't sound dangerous at first, but then, as often happens, something goes wrong. Now, our dear Mrs. Pollifax finds herself embroiled in quite a hot Cold War--and her country's enemies find themselves entangled with one unbelievably feisty lady.
