“Then I saw her.”
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, 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.
*Banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism!
Read Alikes for The Postman Always Rings Twice: Double Indemnity by James M. Cain; The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett; Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham
