Your vehicle breaks down on the road and you call a towtruck. You just want someone to take your auto for repairs - nothing about the truck or its driver. Is he or she honest or a crook. Is he or she part of a legit company or a criminal syndicate. Most of the time, the towtruck driver is honest, hard-working and as helpful as CPR for a heart attack. Mike Raleigh wasn't think of corruption on the highway when he witnessed a fatal hit-and-run right in front of him. He certainly didn't think of getting a tow when the driver pulled a gun on Raleigh and demanded his phone before fleeing the scene. Later, Raleigh would find himself immersed in the criminal side of the business, up to his neck in crooked cops. The private eye learns how the public are sometimes dealing with pavement pirates when their cars break down. He also finds himself in the middle of a war waged between powerful forces who are using towtruck drivers as their pawns. It's another thriller featuring Mike Raleigh and his best pal, lawyer Reginald Browne, by G. R. Daniel who sets most of his hot-selling novels in Canada.
