Schooteacher Paul Perri is haunted by past tragedy in this slow-paced mystery. Left to raise his sons alone after his wife is killed in a hit-and-run accident, Perri becomes a part-time cabbie in New York City and acquires a mysterious regular fare, Claudia Cron, whom he drives to a small
town and back three times before she apparently frames him for murder. An old friend and amateur sleuth, Will Lee, helps Perri unravel the mystery in the twist ending.
