I recently purchased and read the last book in Gary Reilly's Asphalt Warrior series, which features "Murph" the cab driver, who despite his best efforts, can't stop himself from getting involved in his passenger's lives, which always results in serious, as well as comic, consequences. I really love this series. It takes place in Denver, with lots of local color. Although kind of corny, the books are always a lot of fun to read. Reilly passed away before ever getting published, and so his friends decided to get together and start a publishing company called Running Meter Press, in order to get his works into print. Reilly has written others books, far more serious novels, which the company has also published, but for me, none of those can compete with the "Murph" stories. I strongly recommend buying the first book in the series, The Asphalt Warrior, and read the rest in order. You'll be surprised and delighted. Trust me.
