Code Name: "Millicent" The Cat Intelligence Agent Who Came Out Of The Cold

A Funny Feline Fantasy

Millicent, a highly trained and experienced undercover agent for the CIA, the Cat Intelligence Agency, is sent on a mission to investigate an explosion of the drug trade operating in Nimbin in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales. There she meets the dashing but mysterious, King, a devilishly attractive Burmese and befriends Bertha, an amusing elderly part Persian hypochondriac.

But is the remarkable King merely a distraction, an accomplice or a compatriot and what part does he have to play in the illicit drug trade?

Her assignment becomes almost cat-astrophic when the investigation unexpectedly leads her into deeper and more dangerous areas of intrigue and murder.

A must read for cat lovers with a sense of the absurd who appreciate a touch of crime in their reading.

Bryon Williams, ex-stage and television actor, script writer, producer, director turned novelist, has now retired to a Retirement Village in Brisbane. Two of his previous novels, The Grumpy Old Withered of Oz, a comedic, semi-autobiographical book about the frustrations of ageing and life as his wife's carer in the not-so-fast lane of the Zzzzzzzzz Generation, and The Twilight Escort Agency, an hilarious and bawdy account of a mythical escort agency for the 'more mature' client, have enjoyed very positive independent reader response, as has this novel, the whimsical comedy crime-fantasy, ideal for cat lovers, Code Name: Millicent - The Cat Intelligence Agent Who Came Out of the Cold. Tourist from the Light, an intriguing paranormal romance with an underlying theme of a thought-provoking alternative spiritual philosophy, followed. His fifth novel, The Burning Boy, is an exciting action/crime page-turner based on the horrors that haunt an ex-Vietnam War cameraman who returns to Australia in the mid seventies and becomes inadvertently involved in a sophisticated and lethal people-smuggling racket. Bryon's beloved wife of 45 years, Marie, suffered a disastrous stroke in 2000 and he retired to become her full-time carer until she passed on in 2014. Bryon went on to write a memoir of his career and his married life, A Light at the End, which received numerous 5-star favourable reviews. With the legalisation of gay marriage and acceptance of sexual equality, Bryon then changed course and wrote Naked Warrior, a gay, erotic love story based on Bryon's belief in Reincarnation. Intrigued and inspired by an old friend, Patti Allen's, unresolved story of the tragic murder of her daughter in 1988, they collaborated to co-write Not in the Public Interest, published in 2019
