The 6:20 Man

A Thriller

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Christine Lakin, Mela Lee

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.

Brilliant, as usual

Up to date real world plot facts woven in unpredictable story with far more surprises than even the best storytellers typically provide. Loved it. Hope to read more of these characters.

Stereotypical Thinking

Like most of his books, this tells an intense captivating story. However, he throws in ugly, cliched, and clearly unresearched liberal viewpoints about Christians and the pro life community. Totally unnecessary. Wish he'd skipped it or researched that better.

loved it

Love Zachary Webber's narration. Wish Baldacci would use him again. Nice, complex story line. Another winner for Baldacci.

Great story, really well performed

Enjoyed this a lot, great story with lots of twists, did not see the end coming

great for our road trip

the narrations was good. did not see the end coming. if you enjoy Baldacci you will like it

Great read

This is the best Baldacci book I have read/listened to. I grabbed me from the first chapter and didn’t let go. And the narration was terrific with seemless connection of all the voices. I plan on listening to it again.

Good one!

Love a good mystery. This is one I will listen to again. I don’t do that often.

Disappointed

This book was fabulous until the last hour or so. As another reviewer stated, it’s like the author was trying to go on vacation and hurry up, plus in my opinion, fill in all the “check” boxes. It reminded me of scooby-doo and recapped why it failed in the end and the hero’s prevailed. Very disappointed, but it did intrigue me most of the book. I really liked Travis, maybe because I am a Devine! I’d like to hear another about this character with a more thought out ending.
