Falling

Carl Lazarus should be dead. Tumbling from a New York City bridge, he is miraculously saved by a small-time crook, Paul Schoen, who then inadvertently slips and falls and is killed. Trying in some way to repay this strange debt, Carl finds Schoen’s wife and young son and after a time, ironically falls into their world, intending to create for all three of them a better, “regular” life. But the more he assumes Paul’s role, the more he becomes involved in the petty thief’s criminal world. What’s worse, Carl realizes he likes it and descends ever deeper, way over his head.
