I just finished Dark Night of the Soul, another "Murph the cab driver" novel by the late Denver author Gary Reilly. This time Murf is suspected not only of bank robbery, but assaulting an elderly woman who tried to pay her cab fare with $8.00 worth of pennies. Once again, the book features a lot of local Denver color, and is written in a breezy, lighthearted style. I strongly recommend these stories to anyone looking for a quick, humorous read, especially if you live in the Mile High City. The only downside to these novels is that Reilly never saw any of his books in print before he passed away. Still another example of life's little ironies.
