Cain, James M. The Postman Always Rings Twice

Englischsprachige Ausgabe. Deutsche Ausgabe: "Wenn der Postmann zweimal klingelt" (aka "Die Rechnung ohne den Wirt")

First published in 1934 and banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" is a classic of the roman noir. It established James M. Cain as a major novelist with an unsparing vision of America's bleak underside, and was acknowledged by Albert Camus as the model for The Stranger.
