Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled
Seven weeks ago, a young American woman, Amanda Pym, faced down hijackers on board a flight to the Middle East and saved the lives of more than two hundred passengers. In a blaze of celebrity, she stepped off the plane in Damascus and was whisked away in a waiting car, never to be seen or heard from again.
Has she been kidnapped and murdered, as the CIA suspects? Whose plans has the apparently ordinary young woman interfered with -- the mukhabarat, Syria's dreaded secret police, or cutthroat terrorists? Or has she simply gone into hiding?
Masquerading as Amanda Pym's worried aunt, Mrs. Pollifax searches Damascus and deep into the desert for the missing woman...and the truth. But secret, deadly enemies shadow her every step...and threaten not only Mrs. Pollifax and her mission, but the fragile stability of the whole Middle East. And only a miracle -- or a brilliant counterplot -- can forestall a disaster that will send shock waves around the world.
