About This Item
Published with no Dust Jacket; Franklin Library of Mystery Masterpieces Edition. Hardcover Fine leatherette with ribbed spine and accentuated with 22 karat gold and page edges. No marker ribbon. Paste down simulated 1st page of L.A. Star on top cover. End papers are decorated. 209 pages total. An amoral young tramp. A beautiful, sullen woman with an inconvenient husband. A problem that has only one grisly solution--a solution that only creates other problems that no one can ever solve. First published in 1934 and banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism, The Postman Always Rings Twice is a classic of the roman noir. It established James M. Cain as a major novelist with an unsparing vision of America's bleak underside, and was acknowledged by Albert Camus as the model for The Stranger. James M. Cain, virtuoso of the roman noir, gives us a tautly narrated and excruciatingly suspenseful story in Double Indemnity.
