Charles Schine's life each day is almost like clockwork.  He catches the 8:43 train to Manhattan where he works as an advertiser.  He has a  young diabetic daughter.  As he was tending to her needs one day, he missed his usual train.  As a result, Charles had to take a later train.

This is when he met a beautiful woman named Lucinda.  Charles did not have enough cash to pay for his ticket and Lucinda offered to pay for him.   It all began quite innocent with a little flirting.  However, after Charles and Lucinda ended up in a hotel things begin to go awry.  An armed man broke into the room, beat Charles and raped Lucinda.  He then threatens to blackmail Charles for a lot of money.  Charles decides to seek revenge. 

This book is a thriller!  It draws you in from the very beginning and won't let you go until you reach the end of the book.  James Siegel does an excellent job of making you feel that you are right in the middle of Charles Schine's problems.  You will find many twists and turns in the story that help make it very interesting.  My advice - run out and buy this book!
