The Man on the Train

Guy Kingship is having a midlife crisis. As the head of the copy department for a large New York publisher, he's tired of the corporate grind and he hates his boss. On top of that, his marriage to a high-powered Manhattan district attorney has been growing strained. But Guy isn't just a middle-aged burn-out; he harbors a dark secret-a trauma from his past that he has buried deep.

During his daily train commute to Manhattan from the suburbs, Guy encounters a beautiful, younger woman and quickly becomes obsessed. But then the woman disappears and Guy finds himself on the hook for murder. On the lam and desperate to clear his name, Guy seeks refuge in the sleepy town of Montauk, where he once spent the summer when he was sixteen. Guy recalls little about that summer or the brutal assault that took place there on the roof of the old lighthouse, but soon memories begin to resurface. Memories he's not sure he can trust.

Working in the same office that has a warrant out for his arrest, Guy's wife Linda is determined to uncover the truth. She hopes to find evidence that could save him, but as she learns more about her husband's secrets, Linda is forced to confront the question of whether Guy truly deserves to be saved.

Speeding along like a runaway train, this novel of psychological suspense explores the limits of love, obsession, retribution, and the fickle nature of memory.
