Fans of Travis Devine, in David Baldacci’s 6:20 Man Series will want to immediately pick up the third installment of the series, To Die For, where Travis is sent to escort a 12 year old girl to see his uncle, who is an international criminal and who wants to take custody of his niece, Betsy Odom after her parents are murdered. Travis had served in the military with Betsy's uncle, but it had been years, and he is under federal indictment for several crimes. Betsy is being guarded by a seemingly bumbling, uncaring FBI agent, and Betsy doesn’t like her much; neither does Travis. However, escorting Betsy turns into a long-term investigation that is dangerous for all involved. In addition, The Girl on the Train, from a previous novel in the series, comes back to kill Travis, so he must watch from all sides.

Anyone who has read Baldacci knows why he is an international bestselling author. He is a master storyteller, and this excellent novel is no exception. He has a way of keeping readers on the edge, and is responsible for keeping readers up late at night. Travis Devine is a good protagonist, and is upstanding and likeable even though he is subjected to plenty of danger. The supporting characters are well developed, and readers will be able to see them in their mind’s eye as real people. Baldacci has a way of building suspense and the twists and turns are believable and surprising. The dénouement is also a surprise.

As usual, Baldacci gets five stars for an excellent novel.
