Publisher's Synopsis
Volume Three of the Notting Hill Trilogy
A comedy adventure set in 1976 centred on an elderly widow of an eminent archaeologist who instigated the discovery of some penny black stamps hidden around London.
Mrs. W has been asked to host an arts programme on the BBC. In doing so, she travels around the Middle East and Europe looking for artefacts, together with her nurse, her lodger, an ex SAS man, a business manager with a criminal past and one or two other odd travelling companions, plus the camera crew.
They come up against a criminal outfit that is keen to discover some of the clues she unravels, which could lead to the whereabouts of some art treasures, lost for many years.
The local institutions of the Governments concerned insist that their own representatives follow, who prove to to be unaware of the lady's determination. A series of blunders occur, which put her and her companions at risk.
After many adventures, the matter draws to a close, with unsuspected results.
