James M. Cain is the third member of the trio who had such enormous influence, not only on the writing of detective fiction, on film and the way America was viewed. Like Chandler and Hammett, Cain wrote about crime, but unlike them he wrote from the point of view of the criminal and with a sense of bitter, even savage realism which is entirely his own.
