This is the first in a ten book comic novel series based on the life of Murph, a Denver taxi driver who has two goals--to earn no more than what he needs to keep his lifestyle up and running (this includes at least one week of "Spring Break" every month, spent on a beach towel in his living room with a book or 3) AND to never, ever, ever get involved in the lives of any of his "fares". While he does a hand-to-mouth version of keeping the first goal, the second has been causing some difficulty as of late. I don't want to tell you anymore because following along with Murph as he goes down the slippery slope of caring about one of his fares is part of the fun of this book. That and the witty, colorful commentary about Denver and people in general that only a long time taxi driver, or a very observant writer, could have.

This series is being published posthumously (Reilly passed away in 2011 after a long battle with cancer) via Running Meter Press, a partnership of author Mark Stevens and Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Keefe, both friends of Reilly.
