The Postman Always Rings Twice - James M. Cain

A short summary of The Postman Always Rings Twice:

A drifter drifts into an amorous entanglement and an assassination.

"But love, when you get fear in it, it's not love anymore. It's hate."

Would you rather be comfortable or on your own?

Is there ever a good reason to commit a murder?

Noir at its most politically incorrect.

Campy and cheesy but with surprising philosophical depth.

20th-century literary icon and the inspiration for so many other stories.
