The Hot Spot

"When you break the law, you can forget about playing the averages because you have to win all the time." Madox wasn't all bad. He was just half-bad. But trap a man like Madox in a dead-end job in a nowhere town, mix in a femme fatale like the Harshaw woman, give him a shot at a fast $15,000 in a bank just begging to be knocked over...and his better nature doesn't stand a chance. Merciless in its suspense, flawless in its psychology, THE HOT SPOT is a superb example of 1950s roman noir.
