Synopses & Reviews
James M. Cain, author of the classic crime novels The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity and Mildred Pierce, knows what makes people tick! In Sinful Woman, Sheriff Parker Lucas and glitzy screen star Sylvia Shoreham spark it up in Reno under the noses of Dmitri Spiro, the big-shot head of Phoenix Pictures in Hollywood, and Tony Rico, a Nevada nightclub boss. This is a zany soap opera of a novel that contains some of Cain's best caricatures of Hollywood types.
Review
"Nobody else has ever quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemingway, not even Raymond Chandler." Tom Wolfe
Review
"Cain can get down to...greed and sex in fewer words than any writer we know." New York Times
