EVERY PASSENGER HAS A DESTINATION. SOME HAVE SECRETS THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT BEHIND.
You think you've met some strange people? Try driving a taxi.
Welcome to the back seat of a taxi in Croatia, where ordinary journeys can turn into extraordinary nightmares, and the person climbing into your car might be the last person you want sitting behind you. After years in the world of finance, Leon finds himself behind the wheel of a taxi in the coastal city of Pula. He expects long hours, difficult customers and the occasional drunk. What he doesn't expect is a front-row seat to the madness of human behaviour.
Some passengers are hilarious. Others are desperate, dishonest, dangerous or simply unbelievable. There are people who lie through their teeth, people who think money makes them untouchable, and people whose darkest secrets emerge during a journey that should have lasted ten minutes. There are arguments that spiral out of control, encounters that test every ounce of patience, and moments when Leon wonders whether stopping the car and telling everyone to get the hell out might be the most sensible decision of his life. But behind the absurdity and the dark humour lies something far more unsettling.
A taxi driver sees people when their guard is down. He hears conversations never intended for strangers. He witnesses cruelty, desperation, betrayal and occasional acts of kindness that nobody else will ever know about. And sometimes, the most disturbing passenger is the one who barely says a word.
Based on the author's real experiences driving a taxi in Croatia, Karma in the Back Seat is a brutally candid, darkly humorous journey through the unpredictable world of human nature.
No glamorous heroes. No sugar-coated endings. Just extraordinary encounters, uncomfortable truths and the kind of stories that make you wonder what really happens behind the closed doors of an ordinary car.
Because in a taxi, you never know who's getting in next.
And sometimes, you wish you hadn't stopped.
