Double Indemnity (1943) by James M. Cain

This brief but brilliant crime novel explores why ordinary people are driven to do evil. Here, Cain tells the story of an insurance salesman who teams up with the unhappy wife of a wealthy client to kill that client and collect the "accident" insurance (which pays double indemnity, of course). Double Indemnity is a classic of the genre.
