Travis Devine is a Homeland Security agent. Ellen Saxby is an FBI agent. Betsy Odom is a twelve year old girl whose parents have died. Danny Glass is a criminal kingpin. Devine has been assigned to accompany Saxby and Betsy to a court hearing at which Glass is petitioning to adopt Betsy who is his niece.
Devine soon becomes aware that this assignment is going to be loaded with danger when a man who has offered to sell him information about the deceased Odoms is murdered. Devine is already on the alert for a mysterious stranger, ‘The Girl on the Train’, who is obviously tracking him with the intention of killing him.
This is fast moving, thrill-a-minute action. Danny Glass is of special interest to the FBI, while Devine uncovers a huge home grown terrorism threat. There are some very bad people and some very good people and the trick is to find out who falls into which camp.
Travis Devine is one of my favourite recurring Baldacci characters. He is noble and heroic, and a symbol of hope. Just what the doctor ordered for gloomy old 2024!
