It's a short novel. You can find it in the paperback
collection Three By Cain, which also includes Serenade and
The Butterfly. You should be able to find this online for
$6-8.
I haven't yet read LLC, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if
it was an influence on Miller's Crossing. In the interview
book My First Movie, they mention "we were both interested in
and had read a lot of pulp fiction like Cain and Hammett-and
Cain especially..." Of course, this is in reference to Blood
Simple.
To me, The Man Who Wasn't There is almost like Lolita as
written by Cain.
