A hijacker and his hostage escape to a very strange, very dangerous farm Since his father died, every Saturday night has been the same for Dave and his mother. She starts by talking--aimless, weird fantasies about get-rich-quick schemes that never come to anything--but finally she goes silent, and that's when Dave becomes afraid. Mom has a way of getting very close that is repellent and appealing all at once, and he's terrified of where it might lead. One Saturday, a noise outside breaks the silence. A hijacker has escaped his stolen plane with a parachute, a hundred thousand dollars in cash, and one very frightened stewardess. The thief thinks he's gotten away with it, but he doesn't know what Dave's mother will do for an easy payday--and a chance to make her son a happy man.

Reviewers of the book were charitable and positive. In the Miami Herald,Charles Witteford wrote: "Rainbow's End... is vintage Cain, and it's all here -- the big money, the unusual circumstances, the spare, tight style, and the staccato dialogue." Said reviewer John Barkham "James M. Cain is still very much alive... Rainbow's End is written with the same drive, the same energy, the same lean hyped prose with not a word wasted. If there's any trace of mellowness with age, it's in the happy ending." (These reviews are taken from Roy Hoopes' 1982 Cain: The Biography of James M. Cain).
Rainbow's End will mainly be of interest to avid followers of James Cain's fiction who wish to read all of his life's work. Such fans will find this novel a pleasant surprise compared to other Cain work of its time frame -- and a parting gift from an old friend. ( )
