I am currently reading The Heart of Darkness Club, the 3rd book in the "Murf" the taxi driver series by Gary Reilly. Reilly wrote 11 of these stories before he passes away, and none were published in his lifetime. After his death, friends and family got together to start Running Meter Press, which has so far published 8 of these novels and will eventually put all 11 in print. Murf is a bohemian cab driver who lives in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Denver. He vows never to get involved in the lives of his fares, but always does, resulting in various, usually humorous adventures. This time Murf picks up a man moving from one apartment to another, carrying all his possessions in a few cardboard boxes. He winds up doing this twice, and each time tips Murf with a $5.00 bill with a cryptic message on it. Murf can't resist trying to find out what it all means, and does so, with interesting results. I recommend you pick up a copy today.
