520 _a"The Owl Taxi" by Hulbert Footner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the main character, Greg Parr, a young man facing a major life transition as he contemplates leaving New York for London after a recent personal crisis. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he finds himself posing as a taxi driver in the streets of New York, entering a world filled with surprises, intrigue, and possibly danger. At the start of the novel, Greg is on his way to catch passage on the Savoia, harboring a growing nostalgia for his familiar city. Delaying his departure, he befriends a taxi driver named Hickey Meech, who instead proposes a life swap, offering his taxi in exchange for Greg's better clothes. As Greg begins to embrace this new identity, he picks up a fare that leads to a shocking discovery—a dead body in his taxi—which complicates his situation significantly. As he navigates the aftermath, the tension ramps up with the arrival of mysterious characters, setting the stage for a suspenseful exploration of crime, deception, and identity in the bustling city.
