Summary

Intense thrills at a breakneck pace, The Edge is the killer sequel to David Baldacci's runaway number one bestseller The 6:20 Man, featuring elite undercover operative Travis Devine. Read by Zachary Webber (The 6:20 Man).

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 agent 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 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 Putnam 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 . . .

Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci.

One of his best!

Great story, even better than the 6:20 man. I really like the use of different narrator’s and using females for female parts. Makes it sound more like a radio play.

More life’s than a cat

Slow moving but enjoyable plot. Not many twists and a lot of preamble. This fella is immortal which spoils it a bit. He could have been killed hundreds of times if required……..
