Description

A gripping murder mystery pulls a former soldier-turned-financial analyst into the dark underbelly of wealth and corruption in this New York Times bestselling thriller by David Baldacci.

Travis Devine follows the same monotonous routine every morning—putting on a cheap suit, grabbing his worn briefcase, and boarding the 6:20 train to Manhattan. As an entry-level analyst at the city’s most elite investment firm, he spends his commute staring at the grand estates of the ultra-rich, longing for a life among them. In the evenings, he immerses himself in financial news, bracing for another cutthroat day in the high-stakes world of finance.

But his predictable existence is upended when an anonymous email arrives with three chilling words: She is dead. His coworker and former girlfriend, Sara Ewes, has been found hanging in a storage room at work, an apparent suicide—at least for now. Soon, the police are at his door with questions. But they aren’t the only ones watching him.

Before the day ends, Devine finds himself confronted by a mysterious figure with a dangerous ultimatum: help with a secret investigation into his firm or risk exposing a buried past from his time in the military. As he delves deeper, he is pulled from the dazzling privilege of the wealthy into the shadowy reaches of financial power, where deception and danger lurk at every turn. But someone else has their own deadly agenda, and for them, Devine is the ultimate target.
