The Postman Always Rings Twice Av James M. Cain

<p><b>''One of the great crime novels of all time'' Tony Parsons, <i>Express</i></b><br><b><br>''Nobody has ever quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemingway, and not even Raymond Chandler'' Tom Wolfe</b><br><br><b>''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</b><br><br><b>''The most starkly elemental thing that has been written for years'' EVENING STANDARD</b><br><br>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.</p>
