US Bibliography

Further Information James M Cain was born in Maryland, USA, on 1st July 1892. Although he objected to the label personally, he was a leading light in the hard boiled school of crime fiction. His first novel personified the genre and is the book he is best known for, thanks in no small part to the classic film adaptation of the same name. The main character, Frank Chambers, transcended the usual minor importance of characters in this genre and became an important figure in American literature. The author also wrote five uncollected short stories, a couple of plays and three screenplays. He passed away in 1977.
