Publisher's summary

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 #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci’s new thriller.

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.

baldacci does it again

wow, what a story… whether it is amos decker, the camel club, attlee pine or aloysious archer baldacci never lets us down with great characters full of life, a past and currently caught in something larger than themselves.

wish I had the next installment now because I certainly would buy and read without question. don’t miss out.

Outstanding performances!

The story was OK but but was lacking in believability in some places. Performances performances were really good. There was an unexpected twist in the end .

Unsatisfying.

Started out OK but devolved in the end to an implausible finish probably trying to set up a sequel. The author pulled a no no in my opinion by throwing the reader a backstage ending that did not satisfy the long(too long) setup, threw in the obligatory gay/bi/trans scenarios, and ended poorly. The protagonist single handedly beats four professional hit men who are well armed but is helpless against a single female in a small room??

Another Winner

Once again the author hits a home run. Very interesting story with lots of twists and turns. Will keep you guessing until the very end.

Good who done it

Twisty who done it. Baldacci keeps you guessing right to the end. If a company like this really does exist on Wall Street, I would be very afraid.

Great New Character from Baldacci

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the audio production. I definitely did not see the twists coming in the end. Look forward to future stories involving this character

Loved it!

A definite must for anyone who is a
fan of Baldacci, and those who will be!
