Synopsis

So this was it, he thought. He had his first fare and was now officially a cab driver. He shook his head as he exhaled the smoke into the morning cold. Well, he’d use the taxi time just as he had promised himself. He would figure things out, get a hold on himself, keep a little money coming in, and find the men who had murdered his wife.Nick Cullen's wife was brutally murdered in a burglary gone horribly wrong, and he's not the type to move on with his life, especially when he has seen the faces of the murderers in person. His plan: learn how to drive a cab so he can find his wife's murderers on the streets of Los Angeles.Nick's nighttime rides lead him down dead end after dead end, until one day he manages to get a hold of the ID of one of the men who destroyed his life. Nick's chase heats up and he's forced to face the truth of how far a man will go who has nothing left to lose.Night Driver takes the reader on a white-knuckled thrill ride through the dimly lit streets of after-hours Los Angeles and into the dark heart of a man pushed to the brink. An unforgettable journey of obsession, sadness, and revenge.

Not bad at all.......more

Goodreads review by Gary on May 30, 2018

Night Driver is more than a crime novel, though it is a great one of those, too. It bristles with heart and humanity and casts a fine photographer's eye over Los Angeles at night in the 1970s. Nick Cullen is a character you're not going to want to let go of. This book is so complete, but leaves you......more

Goodreads review by Laura on March 02, 2018

Ronald Colby's Night Driver is an entertaining evocative noir thriller set in Los Angeles in the 1970s. The sense of place and time rings true at every turn. And twists and turns this story has as you cruise the city at night. Highly readable. Give it a try.......more

Goodreads review by Jacob Dzik on February 21, 2021

I didn’t want this book to end and savored it as much as I could. Nick Cullen hunts his wife’s killers driving a taxi on the streets of Los Angeles. A mix of Taxi Driver and Nightcrawler, with hints of Elmore Leonard and George Pelecanos. Funny, dark, violent. Everything I want in a book.......more
