Publisher Description
'One of the great crime novels of all time' Tony Parsons, Express
'Nobody has ever quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemingway, and not even Raymond Chandler' Tom Wolfe
'It is no accident that movies based on three [of Cain's novels] helped to define the genre known as film noir' NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS
'The most starkly elemental thing that has been written for years' EVENING STANDARD
The torrid story of Frank Chambers, the amoral drifter, Cora, the sullen and brooding wife, and Nick Papadakis, the amiable but inconvenient husband, has become a classic of its kind, and established Cain as a major novelist with a spare and vital prose style and a bleak vision of America.
Customer Reviews
An excellent read
Heard this reviewed on a book programme and thought I would give it a try. It's a short book so quick to read and it doesn't have lots of description so feels quite basic in style but the story is good and keeps you guessing to the end. If you want something a bit different to read this is worth a try.
