The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax

Dropping everything-Art Association tea, Garden Club film, shopping list-Mrs. Pollifax, the intrepid Emily Pollifax from New Brunswick, New Jersey, answers the call of Carstairs of the CIA to act as courier. Agent Magda Ferenci-Sabo is missing in Istanbul, and Carstairs needs a courier to contact her.

But this courier must be above suspicion, unknown to the dark world of cross and double-cross in the Turkish capital where every friend is a potential enemy. He or she must have no record, no "profile." Mrs. Pollifax fits the bill exactly. The only question left unanswered is: Will Mrs. Pollifax do it? Of course she will. What Emily Pollifax begins, Emily Pollifax finishes.
