The Craigslist Murders
““Asshole,” she screamed as the driver hit the gas and her body bounced back against the seat. They’d been lurching down Fifth Avenue for twenty-five minutes. Traffic was so snarled up, it was nearly at a standstill. She could see the flashing lights and Con Ed truck parked in the middle of the avenue ahead.
