A scorching, twist-filled thriller that evokes both James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice and Erskine Caldwell’s Tobacco Road.
Joe Carter works as a rigger for rich Houston oil magnate Sam Forsythe and falls for Paula, his boss’ seductive young wife. But she gets pregnant and draws Joe into a murder plot that will either make them both rich… or put him in an early grave with a knife in his back.
