Advertising director Charles Schine is just another New York commuter, the 8.43 to Penn Station his daily journey to work. But the day he misses his regular train is the day that changes his life. Catching the 9.05 instead, he can't help but be drawn by the sight of the person opposite.
Charles has never cheated on his wife in eighteen years of marriage. But then Charles has never met anyone like Lucinda Harris before. Charming, beautiful and a seductively good listener, Charles finds himself instantly attracted. And though Lucinda is married too, it is immediately apparent that the feeling is mutual. Their journeys into work become lunch dates, lunch dates become cocktails, and cocktails become a rented room in a seedy Manhattan hotel.
Charles and Lucinda both know the risks they are taking, but not in their worst nightmares could they foresee what is to follow.
A dazzling thriller from a terrific new talent, 'Derailed' is a captivating mix of atmosphere, emotion and page-turning power.
