"Beautifully written in precise

Fierce emotions and lyrical prose are what we've come to expect of O'Farrell

But it is far more difficult to find expression for the human trauma

It has been adapted for the screen and the stage many times

Double Indemnity by James M. Cain GIfts "Beautifully written in preciseJames M. Cain, virtuoso of the roman noir, gives us a tautly narrated and excruciatingly suspenseful story in Double Indemnity, an X ray view of guilt, of duplicity, and of the kind of obsessive, loveless love that devastates everything it touches. Walter Huff was an insurance salesman with an unfailing instinct for clients who might be in trouble, and his instinct led him to Phyllis Nirdlinger. Phyllis wanted to buy an accident policy on her husband.
