1974 Edgar Award for Best First Novel (nominee)
Who could be mad enough at Danny McCloskey to "help" him have three accidents while driving a big fuel oil truck? For Danny, New York was a place where he couldn't find an apartment, noticed a lot of funny business out of the corner of his eye, and pumped oil--until he met Jennifer and decided that somebody, maybe, was trying to kill him. Having nothing better to do one week than keep himself alive, he sets out on a madcap investigation with the help of Jennifer and two cops who couldn't find the French Connection if their radio car was parked under the Eiffel Tower.
