Product Description

Review
His name is Walker. When he was three years old, his mother abandoned him by edge of a road. Now he is eighteen years old and headed for Toronto, determined to solve the mystery of his short life. His only clues are an old photograph and a letter which may hold the answer. Working as a cabbie, he begins to unravel the secrets which he hopes will identify his parent's identity. But someone else has become aware of his quest and is determined to stop at nothing to prevent Walker discover the dark, bloody background to his past. What links a series of macabre killings with the peaceful holiday home of his family? And why is someone following his every move, intent on sabotaging his mission? The answers come as a shock, when he realises the psychopathic mind which destroyed his childhood is alive and as dangerous as ever - and it wants him dead. A brilliantly original chiller thriller set in modern day Canada, 'Midnight Cab' is guaranteed to raise goose bumps. Don't turn off the light... (Kirkus UK)

Refreshing … I read the book in one fell swoop.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dark twisted Tale, 22 Feb 2006
By Zendude (London) - See all my reviews
This is a excellent book. A dark twisted tale, as well as an everyday story. Walker the main character, is superb you really connect with him, and his tragic beginning in life. There is a slow burning love story, not boring though (even from a male point of view), but together with the inserts of the Bobby character, a dark twisted character, and Walker trying to find the truth as to why he was abandoned, this is a rivoting read.
This story slowly unwinds, keeping you guessing and trying to fit the pieces together.
It reminded me in the dark parts of Wasp Factory - Iain Banks
I look forward to his next novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting read, 10 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This is a marvellous book and I just couldn't put it down. The two main characters - Walker and Krista - are wonderful and their growning relationship is subtly and skilfully drawn. The laying out of the mystery and the racking up of the tension is very well done indeed, and the ending is a great twist. The flashback chapters to Bobby are very violent but also very well done. I thoroughly recommend this book and look forward very much to the author's next - soon please!
