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.
