Description
The intrepid Mrs Pollifax is drawn into another nerve-racking mission.
In response to a desperate SOS, young Kadi Hopkirk flies to the African country of Ubangiba, where her childhood friend, Sammat, is soon to be crowned king. Mrs Pollifax joins her, reluctant to allow the girl to venture alone into what she fears may be grave risk.
On arrival, they soon discover that Sammat has dangerous enemies. Rumours are springing up that he is a sorcerer who is responsible for a rash of shocking murders. So Mrs P. steps in, hunting for the source of the bloody terrorism that threatens them all...
Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.

About the Author
Dorothy Gilman was born in New Jersey, USA in 1923. She enjoyed story-telling from a young age, and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
During the 1950s and early 60s she wrote children's books under her married name Dorothy Gilman Butters. But it was the later Mrs Pollifax series of novels which properly made her name. She travelled extensively and many of her travels fed into Mrs Pollifax's adventures.
Gilman was awarded the annual Grand Master Award by the Mystery Writers of America in 2010. She died in 2012.
