Film Noir enthusiasts, it's vintage crime.

The raw, animal passion between Frank and Cora.
I also enjoyed the cover art.

It's a quick read, but it's the kind of book that you don't want to put down once you start reading it.

This book was first published in 1934, and was banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism.
