The 6:20 Man: Thriller

In David Baldacci's new thriller, a mysterious murder drags a former soldier turned financial analyst deep into the corruption and danger that lurk beneath the luxurious world of finance. Travis Devine, a diligent man, dons a cheap suit and carries his faux-leather briefcase every morning to catch the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan. He toils as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most esteemed investment firm, yearning to one day be among the super wealthy whose extravagant homes he glimpses through the train window each day.

As Devine follows his routine, his world is turned upside down by an anonymous email informing him of the death of his coworker and ex-girlfriend, Sara Ewes. Her body was found hanging in a storage room of their office building, with signs of a possible suicide. The NYPD questions Devine about the incident, adding to his distress. Later that day, Devine is confronted with another daunting situation – he is coerced into participating in a covert investigation into his firm, which threatens to unearth dark secrets from his military past.

This perilous mission catapults Devine from the alluring lives of the wealthy elite to the shadowy corners of the nation's financial powerhouses, where deception festers. In addition to navigating this treacherous conspiracy, Devine must also contend with a cunning killer with their own motives, who sees him as their next victim. The stakes are high, and Devine soon realizes that he is at the center of a deadly game with no clear rules.
