    [synopsis] => A bank employee's wife teams up with his boss-with fatal results-in this noir novella by the legendary author of The Postman Always Rings Twice.



Despite an ulcer that requires surgery, workaholic Charles Brent doesn't want to take time off from his job as a head teller at the bank. What eventually convinces him to give in and take a break is the prospect of his young wife, Sheila, temporarily taking over his responsibilities. Then, in Charles's absence, his wife and his boss discover the embezzlement he's been hiding-and the reason behind it. But instead of reporting Charles, the two form a pact . . . 



Originally published under the title Money and the Woman, The Embezzler is a standout novella from James M. Cain, celebrated crime writer and master of the noir thriller.



"James M. Cain is one novelist who has something to teach just about any writer, and delight just about any reader." -Anne Rice, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Interview with a Vampire



"One of the greats of American noir." -The Guardian
