Book overview
In this exciting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci, the 6:20 Man is leaving U.S soil--this time drawn into a storm of billion-dollar secrets and international power plays that could shatter the world order.
When fearless war correspondent Theresa Lee is shot on a storm-swept Manhattan street and the man she was meeting, Bill Walker, vanishes, the 6:20 Man, aka former Army Ranger turned federal investigator Travis Devine, is called in. Theresa is an investigative journalist, Walker a legendary analyst for the Five Eyes alliance that gathers intelligence that could topple governments around the world. A professional hit team has tried to silence one and snatched the other--and Devine has to find out why.
From New York's glass-and-steel canyons to the glittering harbors of Australia, Devine is pulled into the orbit of the Woolwine empire--an Australian dynasty whose fortune makes them more powerful than some nations. Partnering with Anais Jones, a driven, Sydney-based homicide detective, he uncovers a lethal convergence of rogue intelligence operations, Russian mobsters, compromised prisons, and a quiet campaign to redraw the global balance of power.
To stop a conspiracy fueled by weaponized data and manufactured truths, Devine will have to untangle a love story that may be a lie, a rescue that may have been conjured, and a billionaire's ambition with a body count. In a world where enemies wear the faces of allies, the only currency that matters is information--and the 6:20 Man is running out of time to keep it all from crashing down.
