HTML:<b>The basis for the major motion picture <i>5 Flights Up</i> starring Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman.</b><br /> <br /> New York City is on high alert--a gasoline truck is "stuck" in the Midtown tunnel and the driver has fled. Through panic and gridlock, Alex and Ruth must transport their beloved old dachshund--whose back legs are suddenly paralyzed--to the animal hospital, using a cutting board as a stretcher. But this is also the weekend when Alex and Ruth must sell the apartment in which they have lived for most of their adult lives. Over the course of forty-eight hours, as the mystery of the missing truck driver terrorizes the city and the dachshund's life hangs in the balance, the bidding war over their apartment becomes a barometer for collective hope and despair. Told in shifting points of view--Alex's, Ruth's, and the little dog's--<i>Heroic Measures</i> is a moving, deft novel about urban anxiety and the love that deepens over years.<br /> <br /> <i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>.
