The Edge (6:20 Man, 2) Hardcover – November 14, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
When CIA operative Jenny Silkwell is murdered in rural Maine, government officials have immediate concerns over national security. Her laptop and phone were full of state secrets that, in the wrong hands, endanger the lives of countless operatives. In need of someone who can solve the murder quickly and retrieve the missing information, the U.S. government knows just the chameleon they can call on.
Ex-Army Ranger Travis Devine spent his time in the military preparing to take on any scenario, followed by his short-lived business career chasing shadows in the deepest halls of power, so his analytical mind makes him particularly well-suited for complex, high-stakes tasks. Taking down the world’s largest financial conspiracy proved his value, and in comparison, this case looks straightforward. Except small towns hold secrets and Devine finds himself an outsider again.
Devine must ingratiate himself with locals who have trusted each other their whole lives, and who distrust outsiders just as much. Dak, Jenny’s brother, who’s working to revitalize the town. Earl, the retired lobsterman who found Jenny’s body. And Alex, Jenny’s sister with a dark past of her own. As Devine gets to know the residents of Putnam, Maine, answers seem to appear and then transform into more questions. There’s a long history of secrets and those who will stop at nothing to keep them from being exposed. Leaving Devine with no idea who he can trust... and who wants him dead.

THE BODY WILL NOT GO where the mind has not been. That was why most people were victims, Devine knew. They could not imagine themselves grievously injuring or killing someone else, for any reason, even in order to save their own lives. So they wasted time in attempting to flee or in pleading for mercy to men who had none to give.187 Kindle readers highlighted this

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she'd given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.")
David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. The feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 48 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. David has also published seven novels for younger readers.
David is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy programs across the United States.

I really enjoyed the 6:20 Man and grabbed this next book in the series to see what this intriguing character was going to do next. Travis has an analytical mind and can solve problems that others cannot. He is perfect to solve this mystery after a CIA agent is murdered. He stops at nothing to delve into the most dangerous situations.
It will be interesting to see where Baldacci takes this character in the next book and how much he will test his resilience and survival skills. A thoroughly enjoyable series.
This novel starts right out with action, and continues non-stop for 406 pages. The setting for most of the novel is a small town on the coast of Maine (Putnam). A CIA operative has been killed and Devine is sent to investigate as to whether her death is related to her work at the CIA, or to her family's past.
As usual Baldacci provides plenty of local color and has his well-developed characters play their parts in this novel with unexpected plot twists galore.
As with most current novels, there are a couple of grammatical errors. On page 85 the author writes "They did find her purse with her wallet in it. But no laptop or phone." Since the second sentence is written as a negative, the author should have used "nor" rather than "or". That sentence should have read "But no laptop nor phone."
Also on page 217 Baldacci writes "Load the body in the van and bring it to the funeral home" - since the person speaking was not at the funeral home, the word "take" should have been used, rather than the word "bring". You "take" something from one place to another, but you only "bring" something if it is being transported to your location. The sentence should have read "Load the body in the van and take it to the funeral home." Also, I would have used the word "into", rather in "in", but that is just to be more accurate.
Yes, these two grammatical errors are minor, but I expect better from an author such as David Baldacci.
Still a very enjoyable 5 star novel and certainly worth reading, but be sure to read The 6:20 Man before you read this one.
Keeps you engaged until the last page! Enjoyed reading
