The threat

On his daily commute on the 6:20 train to Manhattan, thirty-two-year-old Travis Devine sees the lavish houses of the wealthy, dreaming of joining their ranks. Then one morning his dull routine is shattered by an anonymous email. His friend is dead, prompting the NYPD to come calling. Before the day is out, another ominous visit threatens to dredge up grim secrets from his past in the army — unless he participates in a clandestine investigation into his firm. 

The stakes

In a world where power, greed. jealousy and ambition result in the financial abuse of the masses and the enrichment of the elite few, Travis unearths strange coincidences and unnerving truths. And as the deaths pile up and the major players show their hands, he must question those he can trust and those he must fight.

The payback 

There's a killer with their own agenda, and Devine is the target.

Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci.
