The Magician's Wife

By James M. Cain

Book Overview

In The Magician's Wife, Cain returns to his classic themes of lust and greed. Clay Lockwood, a business executive, falls in love with the irresistible Sally Alexis, wife of a professional magician. Their story is one of the inexorable process of "wishes coming true"--the realization of which was always, for Cain, "a terrifying concept."
