'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.
