Hey everyone! Mystery fiction magazine The Strand just released our 69th issue, where we’ve uncovered a rare James M. Cain story. “Blackmail” takes place in the aftermath of the Korean War and centers on Johnsie, a blind veteran tormented by his sister-in-law. If you’re a fan of Cain’s other works like “The Postman Always Rings Twice” or “Double Indemnity”, you’ll love the classic clean turns of phrase, dialogue, and action - with a special twist at the end. If you’re new to Cain’s work, this story is also a great place to start.
ABC News, The Guardian, and AP News have all reported on this huge finding.
