Book excerpt: This New York Times bestselling novel “of a middle-class professional whose life goes incredibly, criminally awry is one of the most exciting thrillers in years” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Stressed out and late for work, advertising executive Charles Schine is having a terrible morning—until he meets the seductive, mysterious Lucinda Harris on his morning train. Charles isn’t normally the sort to have an affair, but he’ll never forget his forbidden tryst with Lucinda. Because it’s about to destroy his life. When a sudden, brutal attack is compounded by blackmail, Charles has nowhere left to turn but the shadowy underworld of thugs, criminals and con artists. James Siegel’s acclaimed tale of murder, betrayal, and revenge is the basis for the film starring Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen. “Riveting . . . spectacularly inventive . . . a shocker.” —Washington Post
