Al Brody was not born for danger. "I am," he says. "a flak, a middle-aged, overweight public relations man." Al Brody operates in Hollywood. He has known the famous -- movie stars and U.S. senators -- and the infamous -- other movie stars and senators. The most dangerous thing Al Brody ever did was cross the street. Then fate took hold of Brody, the man everybody liked and trusted. It all began in a most commonplace fashion: Al Brody decided to divorce his philandering wife. Then he made a startling discovery: he was in love with his beautiful assistant, Millie. Their idyll was filled with passion. But suddenly, and at first inexplicably, Al Brody's world turned into a nightmare. The corpse of a man Al befriended disappeared, then reappeared. His life mysteriously threatened, Brody, with Millie at his side, found himself involved in one of the biggest crimes of the century. The denouement is both shocking and chilling. Take a dose of harmless terror. Read Millie. from the dust jacket of the 1973 William Morrow first edition
