# Mrs Pollifax on the China Station - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Dorothy Gilman** (Author)

**The cheerful Mrs Pollifax is once again plunged headfirst into a hair-raising secret mission.**

  

Posing as a tourist, she is sent on a CIA operation to China, to help rescue a dissident engineer from a labour camp and smuggle him out of the country ... "before the Russians get to him".

  

Not all goes as planned though - and Mrs P. all but loses her life in the bargain.

  

**Armed with only an open mind and a little karate, Mrs Pollifax is the most unlikely and lovable of international spies.**
