Great light spy thriller!

Under the cover of darkness,m Mrs. P. tries to drive Kadi home to Manhattan, only to have a dark green sedan give them a run for their money, and Mrs. P. begins to suspect, their lives.
Finally Kadi shares the startling truth: her friend, Sammy is the son of the assassinated president of an African country and unbeknownst to the young man's bodyguard, he passed her something important during a recent meeting. Ever resourceful, Mrs. P. puts in a call for help to her CIA colleague, Carstairs, who installs them in a safe house--at a carnival! Before Mrs. P. knows it, a dash to safety expands into an assignment that leads to hair-trigger violence in exotic places.
