Make With the Brains, Pierre - Paperback

What happens when you set an enterprising young Frenchman in 1940s Hollywood?

Pierre Bernet is clearly adrift. He's in love with Eleanor, a would-be starlet who's in love with Joe. Unfortunately, Joe's wife has no intention of giving him a divorce. So Pierre acts as Eleanor and Joe's go-between. Reluctantly, of course, but anything to stay close to Eleanor.

Then Fred Marshall enters the scene. He's a bigwig in charge of the career of Marjorie Dean, and uses Pierre to engineer her divorce from her aging-star husband. Pierre is in the thick of it, and no doubt about it. All he really wants is the love of his elusive Eleanor. But now Marjorie Dean is taking an interest in him ... and two thugs are threatening his life. Wherever Pierre is headed, this surely will not end well-for any of them.
