Joe Wilmot cant stand his wife Elizabeth. But he sure loves her movie theater. Its a modest establishment in a beat-down town--but Joe has the run of the place, and inside its walls, hes king. Without the theater, hed be sunk. Without his leadership, the theater would close in a heartbeat. If it isnt the life Joe imagined for himself, at the very least, its livable. Everything changes when Joe falls for the housemaid Carol, and the two cant keep it a secret from Elizabeth. Elizabeth wont leave Joe the theater unless he provides for her...but hes put all his money into the show house. Carol and Joes only hope is the life insurance policies theyve taken out on each other. If one of them were to be presumed dead, theyd have more than enough money to solve all their problems... No one knows murder better than Jim Thompson and in this incisive foray into the dark dealings of the mid-20th century movie industry, he doesnt disappoint, in the riveting story of a love triangle gone horribly wrong, and just how far one man will go to hold on to a desperate dream.
