Críticas:
A compulsive and suspense-drenched read. * * Elle * * Refreshing . . . I read the book in one fell swoop. * * Vancouver Sun * * Hypnotic . . . Nichol's elegantly simple and taut prose becomes addictive. * * The Globe and Mail * * In Midnight Cab, James W. Nichol takes the reader on a wild ride across Canada, through the past, and into the mind of a madman. Utterly gripping. -- Kathy Reichs
Reseña del editor:
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. The boy is eventually found - holding-on so tightly that 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 teenager's letter found in his pocket. Sixteen years later, Walker Devereux discovers 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 him from a lonely boy into a murderous psychopath . . .
