When sixteen year old Lucas Swain makes a new friend it's quite an event. Lucas doesn't make many friends. He prefers solitude and introspection. A new friend for Lucas is even more of an event when that friend is, well, dead. Lucas comes across Violet Park (deceased) in a cab office while on his way home. She resides in an urn on a dusty shelf in the controller's office, a piece of lost property, left in a cab some five years and never claimed. Convinced that Violet is trying to communicate with him, Lucas and his grandmother hatch a plot to rescue her from the cab office. And then the coincidences begin...

|comment= I agree that is a fantastic book...bit harsh on the navel-gazers, though! One thing I really liked was how well the novel exploits the mystery genre. As Jill Murphy says, "its not over-paced, but is a real page-turner". A very absorbing novel indeed.
