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 citys 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 Devines tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.?

Sara Ewes, Devines coworker and former girlfriend, has been found hanging in a storage room of his office buildingpresumably a suicide, at least for nowprompting the NYPD to come calling on him. If that wasnt 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 countrys economic halls of power . . . where something rotten lurks. And apart from this high-stakes conspiracy, theres a killer out there with their own agenda, and Devine is the bulls-eye.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she'd given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.")

David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. The feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 50 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. David has also published seven novels for younger readers.

David is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy programs across the United States.

    Started off pretty good, but story didnt go anywhere. Too many coincidences, pacing was all wrong, characters lacked credibility, lots of cliches. Very surprising for such an established author whose stories Ive enjoyed before.

    I always like to discover Davids newest hero. He has a way of introducing you to the intrigue and mystery of the character. Travis, our newest hero, for me anyway.
    The women are all mysterious and brilliant. Im an old woman but, do enjoy the for-play.most verbally, of his characters. Glad he keeps me thinking until the end.
