While slinging hash in a diner, a would-be Cinderella meets her Prince Charming
Carrie Selden is not at all like the woman you've read about in the papers. Though she was raised in an orphanage, she isn't an orphan. She didn't finish high school until she was nineteen, but that was because she was working as a waitress, not because she was slow. And though she's very cunning, well, she's no femme fatale. But her beauty . . . oh yes, her beauty is everything you've heard.
At twenty-one, she takes her savings and moves to New York City, landing a job at a diner called Karb's, at the bottom rung of the restaurant chain's tall corporate ladder. Though she makes minimum wage, Carrie is savvy, and it isn't long before she starts to climb. When her coworkers unionize, they choose her as president, and from there, the sky is the limit. But just as the union gets underway, she meets a mysterious intellectual named Grant -- who will either help her rise to the top, or drag her straight down to hell.

Cain, author of the classic crime novels The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity and Serenade, here presents Carrie Selden and Grant Harris as the featured players. The Root of His Evil is a novel about a modern Cinderella much in the mold of Cain's own Mildred Pierce. Author Harlan Ellison has gone so far as to call Carrie and Mildred "sisters," and says: "If you like Cain you won't feel at all cheated to spend a while with Carrie Selden." "Cain can get down to greed and sex in fewer words than any writer we know." -- New York Times. N° de réf. du vendeur 000636
