The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, and Selectedstories

One of the three most important figures (the others being Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler) in the development of hard-boiled and noir fiction, James M. Cain was perhaps best known for a radical mixture of sex and violence that remains blunt and shocking years after the original publication of these works in the 1930s and 1940s. This anthology collects three of Cain`s best-known works (all made into successful movies), along with five short stories. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
