CainAlthough Cain was formerly dismissed as merely a hardboiled writer, his finest worksThe Postman Always Rings Twice, Mildred Pierce, Double Indemnityare now considered enduring classics of American literature.In this book Roy Hoopes gives as full a picture of the man and his life as will ever be written.
