Meet Denverite Brendan Murphy.Or "Murph" as he's known to the rest of the world.That world consists mostly of fares and doormen and fellow hacks from the Rocky Mountain Taxicab Company. He lives alone in his crow's nest apartment, fries a hamburger for every meal, does his dish, then channel surfs for reruns of Gilligan's Island.He's a radical minimalist.Murph has two main goals in life. First, to earn no more from driving his cab than it takes to keep his bohemian lifestyle afloat. Second, never and under any circumstances get involved in the lives of his fares. He's not very good with the first issue and spectacularly bad with the second.The Heart of Darkness Club is the third book of The Asphalt Warrior series, following The Asphalt Warrior and Ticket to Hollywood. In the The Heart of Darkness Club, Murph encounters a mysterious nihilist who may or may not be leaving him cryptic handwritten notes on five-dollar bills.
