"The name of James M. Cain, by itself, has become a guaranteed trademark of swift entertainment."--Maurice Hindus
"Mr. Cain is a real writer who can construct an exciting story with dazzling swiftness--one of our hard-boiled novelists whose work has a fast rhythm which is art."--William Rose Benet
"One of the most remarkable story tellers in the U.S. ... He has broadened his subject matter and, with a cruel anthropologist's tenacity, virtually wrung it dry."--Time.
