About Double Indemnity by James M. Cain
Walter Huff is an insurance salesman with a sharp instinct for clients in trouble. That instinct brings him to Phyllis Nirdlinger, who wants an accident policy on her husband—and then wants her husband to suffer a fatal accident. Drawn to Phyllis, Walter agrees to arrange a murder that will look like the perfect insurance crime.
First published in 1935, Double Indemnity is a taut hard-boiled mystery set in California. Its compact narrative centers on conspiracy, insurance fraud, avarice, guilt, duplicity, and an obsessive love that destroys the people caught in it. Readers of classic detective fiction, noir, and suspense will find a focused portrait of corruption and its consequences.
