A three-year-old boy is abandoned at the side of a country road. His mother whispers to him to hold on to a wire fence. She never returns, but the boy is eventually found - holding on so tightly the wire is cutting into his hands. Well dressed, but without identification, the only clue to his background is a photograph of two young girls and a chatty letter from a teenager found in his pocket. Sixteen years later, Walker Devereux is in Toronto to discover the truth about his early life. Who are his parents? Why was he abandoned? And if, as he remembers dimly, his mother loved him, what happened to her? In pursuit of answers Walker uncovers his family's dark secrets and comes within the deadly grasp of a man whose own early abandonment helped transform a lonely boy into a murderous psychopath ...Midnight Cab is a compelling and utterly captivating thriller that heralds the arrival of a formidable new talent.

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)
