In June, the Pico Rivera Library Book Club is reading the classic noir tale The Postman Always Rings Twice by James Cain. This swift and violent story involves an amoral traveler, a beautiful, sullen woman, and her inconvenient husband. It is the perfect recipe for murder that quickly spirals out of control. This explosive mix of violence and sexuality established James Cain as a major novelist and inspired other writers such as Dashiell Hammett and Albert Camus.
