Publisher Comments:

This is one of David Goodis's most extraordinary efforts, a novel about a disgraced airline pilot who has sunk to the lower depths of existence. Disaster trails the forlorn Cassidy like a hellhound. His self-destructive pattern results not only in self-torment but drags two women, Mildred and Doris, down into the gutter with him. Set in the hard streets of Philadelphia, Goodis's home ground, Cassidy's Girl entails blackmail, murder and the usual rough stuff, endowing his icy and wretched shanties with expressionistic intensity.

I loved this book so much I've adapted it for the screen!
We're still looking for additional financing, so if you want
to help get this movie done, please contact me.
