Somehow now matter how old you are, life never stops looking greener on the other side.
Even though Charles Schine thought he was living the life he was supposed to live… great job, wonderful wife, loving daughter, he was tempted in a blink of an eye to throw it all away for the look and approval of a stranger he just met by chance. On the other hand, was that chance meeting a twist of fate, or a manipulation of the situation?
Whatever it was on that fateful morning when Charles met Lucinda, who turned out to be the woman of his dreams, it set Charles on a path he could not change. This was a path that would change his life drastically. A path that ultimately affected his marriage, his ability to care for his daughter, his own self-esteem, and the very core of his being.
Of course, anytime you get involved in an adulterous affair, you always run the chance of something going terribly wrong, but usually it is the excitement and mysteriousness of it all that keeps you in the relationship. At least for a while.
All of those elements were there for Charles and Lucinda, the excitement… the passion… the pure lust… a friendly ear to listen to you ramble on. Then the train going to nowhere suddenly derailed as Lucinda and Charles get discovered and Charles gets blackmailed for everything he holds dear.
This is one book you will want to keep listening to until the end because the final derailment is a twist that you won’t see coming!

Every day Charles Schine rides the 8:43 to do the job he has done for over a decade in a New York advertising agency. With a wife and an ill child who depend on him, Charles is not a man who likes changes or takes risks... until he is late for his regular train - and sits down across from the woman of his dreams.
Her name is Lucinda. Like Charles, she is married. Like Charles, she takes the train every day to work in New York City. Her train is the 9: 05, and tomorrow she will be on it again - and so will Charles. For there is something about Lucinda that will make Charles take a chance he shouldn't take, break a vow he shouldn't break, and enter a room he should never enter...
In a matter of days, a flirtation turns to a passion, and Charles and Lucinda are drawn into the dark side of the American Dream. In a matter of weeks, Charles's life is in shambles. A man is dead. A small fortune is stolen. Charles's home is violated and everything violently spirals out of control.
But Charles is about to discover that once you leave the straight and narrow, getting back on track is the most perilous journey of all.
Derailed...a believable crazy roller coaster ride!
John Mignano from Warburton - 25 May 2007
Sizzler is the first word that comes to mind. You'll see yourself falling away, a dynamic where you're going on this roller coaster ride...it couldn't have been done any more believable. The reason why it is so effective, the clever story from beginning absolutely works building a vice grip on your mind. A deadly serious game of true suspense, essentially...controlled by clever turns in the plot. Actually impossible not to enjoy it, I couldn't tear myself away. A sneaky thriller!
