Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML: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 fast pace thriller is a new series but follows the complicate twist plot that David Balducci is good at. I enjoyed the book and the character is well layout. The redemption/second chance is heavy and center in the book. ( )

A standalone adventure that was a little less tightly written than most of Baldacci's work. The plot and characters were solid and several plot twists kept the intensity up - only a couple didn't quite ring true. It's a bit over the top, as the hero deals with his painful emotions by making himself miserable, yet is fit enough to dodge bullets, charming enough to get relative strangers to take big risks on his behalf, creative and full of initiative... So, a very good read! ( )

Travis Devine is a former Army Ranger who had to end his military career and has now started a new life getting a job with a Wall Street firm, Cowl and Comely. As he is at the bottom of the foodchain there he has to start early and work late every day to beat the competitors for the opportunity to stay with the firm. Hence, he takes the 6:20 train to commute to work six days a week. However, Devine is not really into his job and he does not even subscribe to the life of money and splendor that it promises once he has worked his way up the career ladder. When his friend and colleague at the firm is found dead, the NYPD rules out the initially believed suicide it was made to look like and Devine becomes a prime suspect.

I have come to enjoy Baldacci's fiction a lot as it usually makes for some fast-paced and enjoyable reading and taken with the right amount of suspension of disbelief his novels are simply very entertaining. The 6:20 Man is another good example of this and I breezed through the more than 500 pages to find out how the conspiracy is eventually resolved and who of the characters is actually involved in it and why. 4.5 stars.

Probably one of David Baldacci’s best books. Gripped from beginning to end. ( )
