Midnight

Late on a very cold night, a taxi driver picks up a woman in a fur coat at the train station. When he arrives at her far-off destination, the woman has vanished--and there is a man's corpse on the back floorboard! This calls for a great detective--since the Chief of Police is a good guy but has no imagination or patience. This is an enjoyable, quick read, but at times Cohen could be the subject for a class on how not to write. Once he talks of building "bulking" in the distance. In another instance, he manages to use "crawfish" as a verb. Some of the other writing is pretty silly as well, but the mystery itself is interesting enough and has a logical enough conclusion. Got this for free and read it on my Kindle.
