This is a well written short story based on a commonly used plot premise of Mistaken Identity. The main character, Dave Morrison, is a London Taxi Cab driver who has finished a long day and is now alone with his thoughts and cannot face a grim tomorrow.While he is waiting in agony another cabby friend Charlie arrives and invites him out for a drink but he declines. Dave sees another cab go by and he recognizes Brian McGlligan, the man who married his ex-wife.Moments later, by some unhappy coincidence, she calls him to confirm his appearance for tomorrow's event. He is so distraught he hangs up and is immediately set upon by two thugs.At first he believes they are out to rob him. And he tells them where the days fares are kept in the taxi. But that is not what they are after.Dave suffers a terrible beating before he is able to learn that the thugs are after Mr. Kelsey's merchandise which he believes must be drugs.The story concludes with a twist that will satisfy the reader's anguish over Morrison's bad luck.Author Hudson earned a 4 star rating for character development and a tighly written story line
