Somebody's Done For

by David Goodis, Matthew Sorrento (Introduction)

Overview

SOMEBODY'S DONE FOR

Calvin Jander is just about done for when his boat capsizes and he's forced to tread water, hoping for a sight of land. When he does find the shore, he's just barely alive. And that's when Vera finds him. She takes him to her shack, gets him some clothes and food. Then Jander's real trouble starts, because Vera is Hebden's daughter.

Hebden and his two partners are holed up in a deserted house on a lonely stretch of New Jersey coastline, and they aren't welcoming visitors. When they discover Jander, it's all he can do to keep them from killing him. But as Vera gradually begins to get under his skin, death by shotgun begins to look like the easy way out.

About the Author

David Goodis is one of the most enigmatic and acclaimed authors to come out of the world of pulp crime fiction. Born in Philadelphia, he brought a jazzy, expressionist style and an almost hallucinatory intensity to his spare, passionate, uncompromising novels of mean streets and doomed people. Goodis first rose to national attention with the book Dark Passage, which was adapted as the classic film noir starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in 1947.
