A new novel from the author of Atticus and Mariette in Ecstasy takes readers back to Prohibition-era New York and serves up a tale drenched in booze and passion, with murder and punishment on the menu. For Santa Clara Magazine, he reveals the story behind the story. Bring your hip flask.

By Ron Hansen M. a . ’95

few years ago I taught a senior seminar on film noir for the English department. Our fourth week in the course was devoted to James M. Cain’s short novel Double Indemnity, and to the fine 1944 Billy Wilder film adaptation starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson, with a script byA Wilder and Raymond Chandler. In both the novel and movie, a California insurance salesman meets the strange and alluring wife of one of his wealthy clients, finds out she wants to get rid of her husband, and hardly hesitates before deciding to help her do it. Walter knows that the insurance policy pays double its value for accidental loss of life, so he and Phyllis fraudulently get the husband to sign for a hefty amount and plot to make it appear that the husband, whom Walter bludgeoned in his car, fell in a deadly way off a train. They garner no suspicions from the police, but Walter’s superior, a crafty investigator for

Thank the kind- ness of a stranger for her life: He pulled her out of the street at the last second. For Bagley, it was a wake-up moment. The deputy attorney general in Oakland’s Department of Justice was largely focused on career; she didn’t take vacations or make much time for friends and family. That would have to change. Two weeks later, she signed aboard her first bare-boating trip to the British Virgin Islands. She’d done a little sailing before, but this was about getting back to something both awe-inspiring and primal: At sea, she and crewmates, like millennia of sailors before them, faced exhilarating challenges as well as the basic must-dos of boating every day.
