An excellent crime novel, with a delightfully bleak ending. Recommended.

A sad, desperate story of crime and economic and social injustice rendered in terrific, terse hard-boiled prose. Very much a Depression-era novel. Not sure why this isn't more widely read, especially given the two well-known film adaptations of it, but it's thankfully included in the Library of America's first volume of hard-boiled crime fiction, and in their American Noir set.

Again, not my favourite novel in the Noir course, but a decent story if you're into the Bonnie and Clyde couple-on-the-run sort of thing.
