A Palm for Mrs Pollifax - Dorothy Gilman

n nWhat we are looking for - aside from the stolen plutonium, Mrs Pollifax - is evil in its purest form.n n nn nEmily Pollifax is leading a very full life: garden club, karate, yoga - and a little spying now and then. This time the CIA sends her to a famous Swiss health resort where the world's intelligence agents have gathered. The mission: to track down some missing plutonium. Just enough to make a small atom bomb.n n nn nShe is good with people - and good at sniffing out their secrets. But it is not until she becomes enchanted with Robin, the young jewel thief, that her adventure really begins.n n nn nArmed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.n
