"NYC taxi driver Ranjit Singh has 10 days to prove his innocence... Bollywood film icon Shabana Shah has been murdered, her body found in the apartment where Ranjit ate dinner mere hours before. Ranjit's fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, a statue of the elephant god Ganesh used to grotesquely smash the actress' beautiful face. Caught on film leaving the apartment alone, Ranjit is accused by the NYPD as an accessory to murder. Ranjit's only credible alibi is Shabana's Indian doorman, but he has vanished. With a Grand Jury arraignment looming in 10 days, and Ranjit's teenage daughter about to arrive from India, he must find the doorman. His search through the underbelly of New York leads to the world of high-end nightclubs, and to Jay Patel, a shady businessman who imports human hair. As the search for the true killer reveals layers of Shabana Shah's hidden past, Ranjit does not know whom to trust. He can rely only on his army training, his taxi-driver knowledge of New York, and his cabbie friends. With time quickly running out, can Ranjit clear his name before his fare is up?"--… (más)

This book was an enjoyable mystery, but not nearly as good as the first book in the series, The Caretaker. I do enjoy the character of Ranjit Singh, a disgraced former Indian army captain, now working as a NY cab driver. He gives a ride to a woman he recognizes as a once-famous Bollywood actress. She tips him generously, and next day he finds himself under arrest on suspicion of being an accessory to her murder. There are flashbacks to the story of her life and career interspersed with the present day story of Ranjit and his attempts to clear his name. I had the story mostly figured out early on, but I still intend to read the next book in the series when it gets published. ( )

I love discovering new authors. Take for example A.X. Ahmed. This is a new to me author. The author has such a good storytelling talent. The characters just came alive for me in this book. Ranjit is a multilayered character. Plus, he was so personable that I was drawn to him. He was just a regular guy trying to do good.

Ok, so I thought I had the whole mystery solved but I was only partially wrong. The story moved along at a good pace as there was so much going on. Well not so much that you lost track of what was happening. I could not stop reading. I thought the way the story flashed back to the past and gave little details at a time was enticing. These moments took place at the right time in the story. I hate when the story flashes back and forth and it is not a smooth progression. This book may be titled "The Last Taxi Ride" but it will not be the last ride I will take with this author! You have to check this book out. ( )
