The Lost Final Novel by the Author of MILDRED PIERCE and THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE
The
COCKTAIL
Waitress
by JAMES M. CAIN
The day Joan Medford buried her first husband, her fate was sealed. For on that day she met two new men: the handsome schemer whose touch she’d grow to crave and the wealthy older man whose touch repelled her—but whose money was an irresistible temptation…
This never-before-published novel by one of crime fiction’s most acclaimed authors will remind you why Cain is considered, together with Hammett and Chandler, one of the true giants of the genre.
“Here, long after anyone would have expected it, is the voice of James M. Cain, as fresh and as relevant as ever. The Cocktail Waitress will involve you, and then shock you with an ending you’ll never forget. This is a true rarity: a reader’s novel that’s also a literary event.”
—Stephen King
“How considerate of the postman to ring a third time, delivering Cain’s final gift to us thirty-five years after his death.”
—Lawrence Block
