Sobre este artículo
London: Hard Case Crime/ Titan, 2012. First edition. Hardback. As New/as new. As new in dust jacket. Hardcover. 270 pp. including an afterword by Charles Ardai. Noir master James M. Cain's final, unpublished novel, the tale of Joan Medford, forced to take a job as a waitress after her first husband's suicide (?) and the two men who would change her life forever. "A classic Cain triangle--brutal and sexual and stark--that can only end in death." At his death, Cain left both complete manuscripts as well as several larger or smaller revisions and reimaginings, here brought together by the editor.
Sinopsis
A one-time editor at The New Yorker and a lifelong journalist, James Mallahan Cain achieved worldwide overnight fame when he published his first novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice , in 1934. The classics Double Indemnity and Mildred Pierce followed in 1936 and 1941, reinforcing Cain's reputation as the great chronicler of crimes of passion, typically set against a working-class backdrop during the Great Depression. His books have inspired a number of classic movies, including Billy Wilder's Academy Award-nominated adaptation of Double Indemnity , which was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest movies of all time.
