Book Description

The faceless corpse of a young girl stuffed in a trunk, the trunk tied to the back of a hack driven by "Jigger" Moran..."Jigger" protesting his ignorance and innocence...

The police were not buying. Any other cab driver in New York might have made his protest stick, except "Jigger" Moran - disbarred attorney, angle man, private eye without a licence, a cab driver at his own convenience; a meddler in murder cases.

The police really did not have enough on "Jigger" to hang him, so they gave him enough rope to hang himself - or - the murderer.

A top-notch mystery by John Roeburt, author of TOUGH COP and winner of the Mystery Writers Edgar award.
