Cassidy
by Morris West
Publisher:  Doubleday & Company, Inc.
Copyright:  1986
First Edition

He is a giant among today's writers.  His more than twenty novels have been translated into twenty-seven languages and have sold tens of millions of copies around the world.  His best-known works include The Devil's Advocate, Daughter of Silence, The Clowns of God, and the phenomenally popular The Shoes of the Fisherman.  He is Morris West.  And now, from the endless stores of his imagination, comes a big contemporary novel as boldly exciting as it is brilliantly told.

Charles Parnell Cassidy -- God rest his soul!  He could have been a con man or a Cardinal, so he became a little of both.  The perfect paradigm of an Irish pol, he was a hardy breed of man who went after power and money and got them -- every way he could.  Now, in death, his long and haunting shadow grows even more potent.

Cassidy is the story of what he has left behind.  It is a story of moral debts and mortal sins, of dangerous intrigues and deadlier secrets.  Most of all, it is a story about Cassidy's son-in-law and executor, Martin Gregory, a young man who sets out to unravel the legacy only to discover the ironic joke Cassidy has played.  For, in effect, Martin must now become Cassidy himself, and face the same choices, chances, and challenges his extraordinary predecessor faced so many years before.

Set against the compelling backdrop of high-powered politics and international crime, Cassidy is storytelling at its very best.  It brings alive one of the most finely etched and memorable characters in modern fiction, and proves once again the incomparable talents of Morris West.
