Frank Chambers is a drifter - when life gets too heavy, he catches the next box car out of town or hitches a ride on the highway. When he stops in a Californian diner in the middle of nowhere, he sees Cora, the waitress. When Nick 'The Greek' Papadakis, the owner of the diner and Cora's husband offers Frank a job, he takes it. Because what has sparked between Frank and Cora is so bad, it's good - she's game for anything in the sado-masochistic affair that follows. Frank wants her to come with him - hit the road, live like gypsies. But Cora wants the diner, and that mean Nick has to be - removed from the scene...One of the most important noir novels of modern literature and originally banned for its steamy bedroom scenes, this tale is set down in the briefest, most direct prose - with flashes of brilliant imagination - the planning, the accomplishment and the sequel to the murder. First published in 1934, from the author of Mildred Pierce.
