'The most starkly elemental thing that has been written for years' EVENING STANDARD
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.

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
