Description
A cryptic murder pulls a former soldier turned financial analyst deep into the corruption and menace that prowl beneath the opulent world of finance, in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.
Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.
Sara Ewes, Devine’s coworker and former girlfriend, has been found hanging in a storage room of his office building—presumably a suicide, at least for now—prompting the NYPD to come calling on him. If that wasn’t enough, before the day is out, Devine receives another ominous visit, a confrontation that threatens to dredge up grim secrets from his past in the army unless he participates in a clandestine investigation into his firm. This treacherous role will take him from the impossibly glittering lives he once saw only through a train window, to the darkest corners of the country’s economic halls of power . . . where something rotten lurks. And apart from this high-stakes conspiracy, there’s a killer out there with their own agenda, and Devine is the bull’s-eye.
Reviews
Somehow good and not great.
4By Tacboy2023There is storytelling, intricate story telling and then storytelling that becomes so absurd at the end you can decide was this good and also not good at the same time. The ending is both so exciting, complicated, and completely ridiculous that it left me a bit frustrated.Fast & Intriguing

5By Dantes1002PeakExciting read. I enjoyed the plot. Plenty of action and a bit of suspense. DekeSuperficial
3By Savannah GabbertNot the best by this writer. Characters lack depth and dialogue is boring. I felt like I was reading a story proposal for a movie, not a fresh work of fiction. A real waste of time.Disappointing
1By CJ_31_31Book plot is lameThe 6:20 Man
5By PeaceIsMyMantraGreat read! Kept me guessing, wrong I might add, till the very end.Average at best…
2By Findaddy16Might be a good read for a teenage boy…Perfect
5By STompkins66Great suspense! Hard to put down!Tired twists and turns…..
3By boaris57I think Baldacci has twist and turn fatigue. The back story is what the book is about. The main story is wrapped up too quickly. It is also a convenient twist or turn. Too many good guys gone and for an innocuous reason. Typically good character development from the author. His always stay with me a while. In the end I just wanted it to end. Still I will read the second installment!!
