The latest entry in The Mike Fargo Mysteries series, THE GRAB-A-CAB MURDER, is an action-packed novella that takes the reader back to the spring of 1921. Fargo has just been promoted to detective after some ten years walking a New York City beat. When he's sent to check out a double-murder of a cabbie and his fare on his very first day he soon realizes he has to learn how to handle his new job on the fly.

The case turns out to be bigger than anyone thought when the murdered passenger turns out to be Arthur Worthington, the owner of the new Grab-a-Cab Company, shot in one of his own cabs. A random robbery or something more? That's what Fargo has to find out. He soon learns that Worthington is also the owner of Worthington & Sons, a major clothing manufacturer. The list of possible suspects quickly grows and when a second murder takes place a short time later, Fargo knows there is something much larger in play.

As the investigation widens, Fargo finds himself dealing with the growing criminal element at the beginning of the Prohibition era in New York City, as well as some high-rolling Park Avenue lawyers. Were the murders about the Grab-a-Cabs or the clothing business, or maybe both? Or was it simply a personal vendetta? As he pursues a number of divergent leads, Fargo finds his own safety and indeed his life in danger. And he also has to decide just what kind of detective Mike Fargo wants to be.
