Summary

The 6:20 Man is back, dropped by his handlers into a small coastal town in Maine to solve the murder of a CIA agent who knew America’s dirtiest secrets—can Travis Devine uncover the truth before his time runs out?
 
When CIA operative Jenny Sikwell is murdered in rural Maine, government officials have immediate concerns over national security。 Her laptop and phone were full of state secrets that, in the wrong hands, endanger the lives of countless operatives。 In need of someone who can solve the murder quickly and retrieve the missing information, the U。S。 government knows just the chameleon they can call on。
 
Ex-Army Ranger Travis Devine spent his time in the military preparing to take on any scenario, followed by his short-lived business career chasing shadows in the deepest halls of power, so his analytical mind makes him particularly well-suited for complex, high-stakes tasks。 Taking down the world’s largest financial conspiracy proved his value, and in comparison, this case looks straightforward。 Except small towns hold secrets and Devine finds himself an outsider again。
 
Devine must ingratiate himself with locals who have trusted each other their whole lives, and who distrust outsiders just as much。 Dak, Jenny’s brother, who’s working to revitalize the town。 Earl, the retired lobsterman who found Jenny’s body。 And Alex, Jenny’s sister with a dark past of her own。 As Devine gets to know the residents of Potter, Maine, answers seem to appear and then transform into more questions。 There’s a long history of secrets and those who will stop at nothing to keep them from being exposed。 Leaving Devine with no idea who he can trust。。。 and who wants him dead。

I am a big fan of David Baldacci and happy to see a Travis Devine, the 620 man return in The Edge。 This was a slower paced book than usual, but worth sticking with。 There is a large cast of characters but again, they are all unique and have their place in the story。 Baldacci has a way of making the reader get so absorbed into the story that you can’t help yourself from reading well into the night to finish。Travis Devine has been busy since we last saw him。 He is sent to investigate the murder of I am a big fan of David Baldacci and happy to see a Travis Devine, the 620 man return in The Edge。 This was a slower paced book than usual, but worth sticking with。 There is a large cast of characters but again, they are all unique and have their place in the story。 Baldacci has a way of making the reader get so absorbed into the story that you can’t help yourself from reading well into the night to finish。Travis Devine has been busy since we last saw him。 He is sent to investigate the murder of a CIA operative who has been found murdered in the coast of Maine。 Her family are well known and respected and it is personal for Travis’ boss。 He soon finds that this small town is full of secrets and cover ups and nobody is telling him the whole truth。 The local police resent having him there asking questions。 The locals don’t trust him, and somebody is trying to kill him。 The further he digs, the more bodies he finds。 David Baldacci books are just written to be made into a movie or TV series and I am surprised that they haven’t been。 A twisty and suspenseful crime thriller that is well worth the read。Thanks to Macmillan Australia for sending me an advanced copy of this book to read。 Published in Australia on November 1st 。。。more
