Description
A restless drifter finds himself drawn into a passionate and dangerous affair with a married woman, the wife of the owner of a roadside diner. Their illicit desire quickly escalates, leading them down a treacherous path of deception and violence as they plot to eliminate the husband. This taut, hard-boiled narrative explores themes of obsession, fate, and the corrupting influence of desire, all within Cain's signature lean and propulsive prose.
