THE KNOWLEDGE - MARTHA GRIMES TASCHENBUCH

Robbie Parsons is one of London's finest  a black cab driver who knows every street  every
theatre  every landmark in the city by heart. In his backseat is a man with a gun in his hand -
a man who shot Robbie's previous pair of customers point-blank in front of the Artemis Club  a
rarefied art gallery-cum-casino  then jumped in and ordered Parsons to drive. As the killer
eventually escapes to Nairobi with ten-year-old Patty Haigh - one of a crew of stray kids who
serve as the cabbies' eyes and ears at Heathrow and Waterloo - in pursuit  superintendent
Richard Jury comes across the double-homicide in the Saturday paper.   Two days previously 
Jury had met and instantly connected with one of the victims  a professor of astrophysics at
Columbia and an expert gambler. Jury considers the murder a personal affront and is soon
contending with a case that takes unexpected turns into Tanzanian gem mines  a closed casino in
Reno  and a pub that only London's black cabbies  those who have 'the knowledge ' can find.
