105. Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled by Dorothy Gilman (Spy Thriller) 195 p.
Yet another of Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Pollifax books. I don’t have much to say about it; once you’ve read one Mrs. Pollifax novel, you’ve read them all, although each of them is entertaining enough in its own way.
A flight to Egypt is hijacked by terrorists and saved only by the bravery of a young woman named Amanda Pym. Soon after an emergency landing in Damascus and a short television interview on the tarmac, Amanda Pym gets into a car and disappears. Now the CIA wants to know: did Amanda Pym disappear on her own, or was she kidnapped? And might she still be alive? Mrs. Pollifax, posing as a concerned aunt of Amanda Pym, travels to Syria to find out.
