"Murph," is drawn into the shady world of Denver's most notorious outlaw biker gang. A string of misadventures ensues.

But Murph's newfound status with The Varmints brings a troubled woman into his taxicab . . . and inevitably Murph violates his supreme motto to never get involved in the lives of his fares.</p><p>A string of misadventures ensues. Murph goes on the lam. Longtime mentor Big Al makes an extraordinary cameo. And Murph overthinks everything, waxing philosophical about life, death, and facing the music. Memento mori, Murph.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for The Asphalt Warrior series: </p><p>"Murph is a go-with-the-flow philosopher (comparisons to The Dude in 'The Big Lebowski' seem somewhat inevitable), a man who wants to avoid people and will do almost anything to avoid confrontation, but whose internal monologue makes him a fascinating companion. Every few pages readers will find an unexpected turn of phrase, a running gag, or, for lack of a better way to put it, a funny way of looking at things." - <em>Booklist.</em></p><p>"Huge fun." - <em>National Public Radio</em></p><p>"Reilly's genius lies in his ability to create a real, three-dimensional person out of disparate descriptions and monologues strewn throughout the story. In a way, though, it is not these 'facts' that fully describe Murph. Rather, it is the breezy, almost constant running commentary on all that happens or has happened in his life that brings Murph alive on the page." - <em>Foreword Reviews</em></p><p>"Reilly is a master wordsmith." - <em>The Denver Post</em></p><br>
