Cains indelible hallmarks.  The Postman Always Rings Twice Cains first novelthe subject of an obscenity trial in Boston  the inspiration for Camuss The Strangeris the fever-pitched tale of a drifter who stumbles into a job  into an erotic obsession  and into a murder. Double Indemnitywhich followed Postman so quickly  Cains readers hardly had a chance to catch their breathis a tersely narrated story of blind passion  duplicity  and  of course  murder. Mildred Pierce  a work of acute psychological observation and devastating emotional violence  is the tale of a woman with a taste for shiftless men and an unreasoned devotion to her monstrous daughter.
