Derailed

Review this book!
This compelling thriller about the horrifying consequences of an adulterous liaison inspired a 2005 movie starring Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. A chance encounter on a commuter train between Charles, a married ad exec, and Lucinda, an equally married stockbroker, eventually leads to a rendezvous in a hotel room. Their tryst has an unexpected and shocking ending: a man invades the hotel room and robs them both, assaults Charles, rapes Lucinda, and then proceeds to blackmail Charles. When Charles finally resolves to put a stop to the harassment, he resorts to methods that only succeed in digging him deeper and deeper into catastrophe.

Reprint. (A Miramax film, written by Stuart Beattie, releasing August 2005, starring Jennifer Aniston & Clive Owen) (Suspense)
Media Reviews
"[C]ompulsively readable....Irresistible hokum written with an obvious eye on Hollywood, where producers will have to decide whether to make Charles's tribulations believable or hope viewers, like lucky readers, will surrender themselves to its spell."
