First sentence…<\/p>\n

Taking the local train from Philly to New York’s Penn Station may not be as smooth as the Acela’s ride but it gets the job done for a few dollars less and sometimes, like that Monday afternoon, the car is nearly empty and a man has time to think.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n

Leonid McGill is a legitimate tough guy.\u00a0 He’s a former boxer, a full time PI and sometime criminal.\u00a0 While riding the train from Philly, a beautiful woman, Marella Herzog asks McGill to get her safely to a cab.\u00a0 He says he will for a price: if he walks her to the cab and there is no incident, the price is a handshake and kiss on the cheek.\u00a0 If he has to play bodyguard, the price is $1,500.00.\u00a0 Marella asks, “Isn’t that price high?\u00a0 “I couldn’t be trusted for less” is McGill’s response.<\/p>\n

McGill has to take action when a man with a knife attacks Marella.\u00a0 McGill leaves the man unconscious with a broken arm and gets Marella to a cab.\u00a0 The attraction between Leonid and Marella is undeniable.\u00a0 She invites him up to her hotel for payment.\u00a0 He agrees to come by later.<\/p>\n

As And<\/span> Sometimes<\/span> I<\/span> Wonder<\/span> About<\/span> You<\/span> unfolds, McGill becomes more involved with Marella.\u00a0 She’s beautiful, smart, as lustful as McGill and cannot be trusted.\u00a0 Why are people after her?\u00a0 She has something they want, but what?\u00a0 McGill realizes that she’s everything he could want in a woman (if she doesn’t kill him), but McGill has so much going on…<\/p>\n
