Schine and the gorgeous stockbroker, Lucinda, gradually became bolder and bolder in their liaisons. Their escapades eventually culminate in a morning of lust at a seedy downtown hotel. While departing the room they are robbed, brutally assaulted and Lucinda is savagely raped by a heartless lout. Threatened with exposure, they shun the police and soon become ripe for extortion.
Schine trying to extricate himself from this untenable predicament becomes more deeply mired in the whole trouble while desperation sets in.
How can he escape the danger he has put himself, and his family, in?
Siegel leads us through an elaborate, labyrinthine plot with unexpected twists and turns. The conclusion nicely ties the plots together and is a satisfying conclusion.
Well worth it.
