Summary

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, prompting the NYPD to come calling on him。 If that wasn’t enough, 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 Travis 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 bullseye。

Bonnie Mardon

Excellent book。 If you like David Baldacci, this one is highly recommended。 Lots of twists and turns。

Mark Kellogg

Phenomenal David has done it again, created a new larger then life character that let's the redeemable qualities of the human spirit thrive。 Also, shining a spotlight on the evil this drowning country faces。 Fascinating and phenomenal。 Hope the 6:20 Man has a sequel。 Phenomenal David has done it again, created a new larger then life character that let's the redeemable qualities of the human spirit thrive。 Also, shining a spotlight on the evil this drowning country faces。 Fascinating and phenomenal。 Hope the 6:20 Man has a sequel。 。。。more

Twists until the end, smoothly written, didn’t see the ending coming, another good one of Baldacci!!

I absolutely loved this book!!Another winner by David Balducci

Mary Ellen

Not up to his standards

Yvonne Speece

Absolutely wonderful! One of his best thrillers yet!

Steve Schlutow

Great book。 I hope he continues with the character, Travis Devine, he is one of the better characters since the Will Roby books ended。

Lecia L。

Great new characters - look forward to more in this series。

The Memory Man series is by far my favorite series by Baldacci, the Archer series I cannot even fathom how that series got published。 So this one lies in the upper middle of Baldacci。 It was the first with the character Travis Devine and he is a likeable guy。 I find second books and beyond tend to be a little better seeing I have already been introduced to the character。 So have high hopes for Travis if we should see him again。 The wrap up at the end was not my favorite。 I don’t like today’s hot The Memory Man series is by far my favorite series by Baldacci, the Archer series I cannot even fathom how that series got published。 So this one lies in the upper middle of Baldacci。 It was the first with the character Travis Devine and he is a likeable guy。 I find second books and beyond tend to be a little better seeing I have already been introduced to the character。 So have high hopes for Travis if we should see him again。 The wrap up at the end was not my favorite。 I don’t like today’s hot topics in politics in my reading pleasures。 There was just one issue touched upon but really? Just leave it out。 。。。more

Steve Isenhower

A fantastic book。 Starts very slow but picks up about a third of the way and is thrilling the rest of the way。 Excellent plot twists toward the end。 The author has said there will another Travis book。

Nicholas Lefevre

Plenty of action, plot twists, power people and the rest of Baldacci's winning formula。 This time it was just too much。 Ultimately, after the red herrings are gone, the truth was just too much for me this time。。 Plenty of action, plot twists, power people and the rest of Baldacci's winning formula。 This time it was just too much。 Ultimately, after the red herrings are gone, the truth was just too much for me this time。。 。。。more

Sheldon

Baldacci begins another new series with another semi-flawed protagonist who is surrounded by similarly tainted individuals。 Now ask yourself is money at the heart of all thrillers focused on financial institutions and their minions? Or could other issues impose on that easy answer? Have fun!

Hazel Bright

Interesting characters and plot, but nothing spectacular。 Decent。

John Stanley

Maybe not as strong as other Baldacci books。 A good story, and it's certainly set up to be the first of another series, but I thought it was a bit of a letdown at the end。 It just seemed to rush to a conclusion and then was done。 I like the character a lot, however, and look forward to the next in what will, hopefully, be a new series。 Maybe not as strong as other Baldacci books。 A good story, and it's certainly set up to be the first of another series, but I thought it was a bit of a letdown at the end。 It just seemed to rush to a conclusion and then was done。 I like the character a lot, however, and look forward to the next in what will, hopefully, be a new series。 。。。more

It was like Baldacci didn't know how to end the book so he turned it over to a high school literary class to finish。 I have read and enjoyed all of his books but this will be my last one。 It was like Baldacci didn't know how to end the book so he turned it over to a high school literary class to finish。 I have read and enjoyed all of his books but this will be my last one。 。。。more

Recommend this book to everyone for Summer of 2022 thriller read! There were disturbing parts in the book that had more to do with the reality of internet hacking, wealth management/ financial corporations, and hidden global assets in places very unexpected like South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming。 I also thought that young adults who went into finance analysis automatically starting earning 7 figure salaries, so that reality was also something new。 Read this! 4。5 stars from me。

One of Baldacci’s bestI read his books the minute they drop。 I’ve read them all but this is my favorite。 I love his descriptions and characters。 I love his misdirection and surprising twists。 I love a great story that makes you think, “Does this really happen?” This was his best。 Read it!

PDC

A new Baldacci hero!!Once again, David Baldacci has created a character with secrets, flaws, kindness, intelligence, and bravery, not to mention a great back story。 I'll wait (im)patiently for the return of Travis Devine。 A new Baldacci hero!!Once again, David Baldacci has created a character with secrets, flaws, kindness, intelligence, and bravery, not to mention a great back story。 I'll wait (im)patiently for the return of Travis Devine。 。。。more

Terry Heatherington

Fantastic Read!This book has to be one of the best David has written! I had the guilty figured out three orfour times and of course I was wrong three or four times。 Travis was smart, savvy, andrelentless, but he was still led down the wrong path time after time。 This book has everything a great thriller needs to hold your attention and keep you reading long after you should be in bed sleeping!Hopefully this isn’t the last we hear from Travis Devine!

Irl Newham

Very long and complicated mystery with many murders。 As usual, Baldacci is very difficult decipher。 The end of the book is full of twists and turns。 As usual, his characters are well-drawn and believable。

Theresa Ann

A train ride through hell。It starts with a man viewing a woman in a bikini on his train ride to a job he never wanted to have。 From that moment in the book forward things move quickly。 What is going at the company he works for? Why are employees dying? Why is someone setting him up for the fall。 Mr。 Baldacci does it again with believable charters doing what needs to be done to protect - who?

DOUGLAS C。 SWEET

Michael O'Leary

Another excellent read by David Baldacci。 It is a very good stand-alone novel; I hope he writes more books with the main character, Travis Devine。
