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.

This was my first book by this Author. I would give it a B. The story moved along nicely. The narrators were fairly good. But this character needs more development. Based upon his past, this man should be a bad ass genius. But there were several decisions he makes in this book that really makes him look incompetent. If the author continues this series with Divine, I will definitely try the 2nd one. But if he fails to develop him further, I’ll be done.

Really a great book with a fabulous narrator. Many times throughout, the author throws a surprise twist in that I didn't anticipate... which is rare in my experience! Seems like most stories are so predictable so this was a great experience.

I enjoyed this book very much. I was sorry that the murderer just confesses at the end. Overall, kept me guessing. A couple of times the narrator read winding incorrectly, but there than that, great job.

Well written in the main. Interesting development. The plot line was solid until the ending which included too many "tidying up" details for my liking.

This was a great book. Always guessing “who did it?” and thought I had it right, then I was wrong.

This story started out as a great yarn. It’s unfortunate that some authors think they need to put any and all scenarios into play. What started out as a great yarn turned into a ridiculous story.

This is one of Baldacci’s best books. This had me going on and into a full-on audio binge where I couldn’t stop listening. The very end was just too far fetched-even for a fan- otherwise I would have given this six stars if there were that many.

Loved it, kept me guessing (and listening!) despite some gaps in credibility. Good narration, added to the experience of the book

I like the character build up and how it throws curveballs the whole time until the very end. I was constantly questioning “who done it?” I like the transitions between narrators and characters. Helps keep things separate in my mind. Overall very enjoyable thriller mystery!

I don’t like being able to figure out things way before hand. Is he that gullible or stupid that all his roommates have or need something from him?
