James Siegel

Advertising director Charles Schine is just another New York commuter, regularly catching the 8.43 to work. But the day he misses his 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, which become cocktails and eventually lead to a rented room in a seedy hotel. They both know the risks they are taking, but not in their worst nightmares could they foresee what is to follow. Suddenly their temptation turns horrifically sour, and their illicit liaison becomes caught up in something bigger, more dangerous. Unable to talk to his partner or the police, Charles finds himself trapped in a world of dark conspiracy and psychological games. Somehow he's got to find a way to fight back, or his entire life will be spectacularly derailed for good...

Thriller: Stories To Keep You Up All Night

Blef

Publicly fired for his "crying wolf" journalism tactics, disgraced star reporter Tom Valle stumbles upon an unimaginable conspiracy while covering a fatal road accident outside of a small California desert town, a discovery he fears no one will believe. By the author of Derailed. 100,000 first printing.

Deceit

From the bestselling author of Derailed comes an explosive new thriller about a disgraced journalist who stumbles upon an unimaginable conspiracy—but will anyone believe him? Tom Valle was once a star reporter for one of America’s greatest newspapers, the kind of publication any journalist would give his right arm to work for. But Tom was the journalist who cried wolf. He went through a very public firing for making up stories out of thin air. Now, two years later, he’s moved to a small California desert town and is reporting for the local paper. He covers community events and senior citizen’s birthdays; a charity case quietly doing his penance. Until the morning he goes to cover a fatal road accident on the highway outside of town and stumbles onto the one story that might redeem him—a conspiracy so unimaginable that no one will believe him.

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

attrazione letale (ultima corsa)

How far would you go for someone you love? Would you sacrifice your beliefs? Would you commit a federal crime? Would you risk everything you have? James Siegel's electrifying thriller, Derailed, captivated readers with its emotionally charged twists and turns, racing up national bestseller lists and landing a major motion picture deal. The Washington Post called it "spectacularly inventive," and James Patterson raved, "James Siegel has arrived in high style." Now this acclaimed new master of suspense returns with the explosive story of a mother's love, a father's devotion-and an adopted daughter who turns their lives upside down. They want what every young couple wants: a child of their own. But Paul and Joanna Breidbart have been trying to conceive for five long years-a torturous process of failed medical procedures that nearly tore their marriage apart. When they finally decide to adopt, American agencies tell them they will have to wait years for their dream to come true. The couple agrees to fly to war-torn Colombia to adopt a baby girl. Paul knows all about risks. As an insurance executive, he routinely calculates the odds of dying in a plane crash or being hit by a bus. Yet all the accident statistics in the world can't prepare him for what is about to happen. Paul and Joanna receive the baby girl of their dreams and their world seems perfect. Then one afternoon they briefly leave their baby daughter alone with their new nanny. When they return, something is disturbingly different about their child...and suddenly everything Paul values is in jeopardy. Again, James Siegel gives us a tale of ordinary men and women thrust into extraordinary circumstances-and a novel that confirms him as one of today's most powerful writers of psychological suspense.
