About this book

Following The 6:20 Man, this is the second thrilling novel featuring Travis Devine from the international bestselling author David Baldacci. A BRUTAL MURDER Retired from the Army's most prestigious special ops force, Travis Devine is now part of an elite undercover team in Homeland Security. But when he's brought in by DC Emerson Campbell to investigate the murder of a young woman, he quickly learns that this case is more personal than most. A SMALL TOWN Four days earlier Jennifer Silkwell was found dead on the rocks of the Maine coastline. A high ranking analyst for the CIA, she had knowledge of national security secrets that would be valuable to a number of enemies. And her Senator father once saved DC Emerson Campbell's life. A BIG SECRET Knowing how much is riding on the case, Devine packs his bags and heads for the small town of Potter in Maine. But small towns can harbour big secrets, and not everyone wants to share them with outsiders. Not when there's a killer on the loose . . . The Edge is the second thriller in the Travis Devine series. The action continues in To Die For.
