Following her husband's death in a suspicious car accident, beautiful young widow Joan Medford is forced to take a job serving drinks in a cocktail lounge to make ends meet and to have a chance of regaining custody of her young son. At the job she encounters two men who take an interest in her, a handsome young schemer who makes her blood race and a wealthy but unwell older man who rewards her for her attentions with a $50,000 tip and an unconventional offer of marriage. The final novel written by James M. Cain and never before published.

Listened to this on my runs/walks in early prep for a 10k in March. It works because I can miss a lot over the audio cues from Runkeeper and trying to breathe properly and not run into people, and still not miss anything important.
