The Knowledge: a Richard
Jury mystery by Martha Grimes
When cabbie Robbie Parsons’ picks up a fair outside a trendy
night spot, he isn’t prepared to see an attractive couple gunned down in front
of him—how could things get worse? The shooter hops in Robbie’s cab, and calmly
asks him to drive around for a bit. When he drops off his fare at a train
station, he calls upon a group of street urchins to follow the man until he can
call the police. One of the street kids, a ten year old girl named Patty Haigh,
follows the shooter to the airport and onto a plane to Kenya. Richard Jury, who
has coincidently met the victims the night before, calls on his old friend
Melrose Plant to go to Kenya to find out about the shooter. Plant, who shudders
at the thought of “glamping” in a wildlife preserve, crosses paths with Patty,
and discovers the identity of the man. The best parts of the book are the
interactions between Melrose Plant and the crafty Patty, who never lets truth
get in the way of a good scheme. An entertaining, fun read.
