Synopsis
First published in 1934, The Postman Always Rings Twice caused a scandal with its explosive mix of violence and sex, and immediately became a bestseller.
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.

"[James M. Cain is] a poet of the tabloid murder." -Edmund Wilson"Nobody has quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemingway, and not even Raymond Chandler." -Tom Wolfe"Mr. Cain is a real writer who can construct and tell an exciting story with dazzling swiftness . . . [his] work has a fast rhythm that is art." -"Saturday Review of Literature ""Cain can get down to the primary impulses of greed and sex in fewer words than any writer we know of." -"New York Times"
