      Griffin Mill is senior vice-president of production at a major Hollywood studio and he is in trouble. He has been getting postcards from a writer he rejected: 'You said you'd get back to me. You didn't. And now I'm going to kill you.' 'An entertaining novel brimming with intriguing and unsavoury characters. I enjoyed the scenes of the movie executives trying to out-manipulate one another.' Michael Douglas
