Andy has spent three decades working as a civil servant, but his worsening health brought about a lengthy period of unemployment. following his unplanned and unwelcome early retirement.
But Andy has a family to look after and support, so the strain is beginning to tell on him.
Although his wife doesn't want him to do it, Andy decides to throw his lot in with a private hire firm that has seen better days and to begin to work as a driver for them.
This thrusts a bemused Andy into a bizarre new world where he spends every evening working with a mixed bunch of fellow drivers. A very mixed bunch, truth to tell!
And as for the strangers, sorry, I mean passengers, well, actually when you read the book you will see why I made that slip!
No two nights are ever the same and there's the little matter that, because of his new job, Andy gets to take a totally unexpected trip to Florida and the Caribbean.
It's a boom that is both amusing a very moving as Andy learns a lot more about life than he probably ever cared to know as he careers from one call out to another in his trusty Yellow Peril.
It's published by Matador at £9.99.
