Recenzii

One of the great crime novels of all time
It is no accident that movies based on three [of Cain's novels] helped to define the genre known as film noir
Cain has established a formidable reputation of furious pace, harsh and masterful realism, tough, raw speech right out of the mouths of the people
A sensational achievement ... the story of a man and a woman whose passion, at first crude and then tender, drives them to murder, has a pitiless brevity that has its own magnificence
The most starkly elemental thing that has been written for years
A good, swift, violent story
A poet of the tabloid murder
The novel's rattling exuberance makes it impossible to read without becoming physically buzzed
