Requests:  1 Summary:  "From the beloved author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series comes a new short story collection: half spy stories, half tales of revenge, all highlight the kinder, funnier, and gentler side of espionage and retribution. In this dual collection of short stories, Alexander McCall Smith brings his trademark humor and warmth to inventive tales of spying and vengeance. In one story, a spy dropped deep into enemy territory manages to disguise himself--quite convincingly--as a nun. In another, an invitation to join the Vatican Secret Service sends a prospective operative down a rabbit hole of controversy and confusion. A third story finds an author, on the brink of public ruin, seeing the error of his ways after an act of kindness saves the day. A keen observer of humanity imbued with a sparkling imagination, Alexander McCall Smith illustrates throughout that transparency is paramount and forgiveness is restorative. With surprising insight and a healthy helping of humor, these stories remind us that, in the end, the high road is often the better one for all involved"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
