From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, the 6:20 Man returns, this time sent to the Pacific Northwest to aid in a complicated FBI case—and he’s about to come face-to-face with his nemesis, the girl on the train.
Travis Devine has become a pro at accomplishing any mission he's given. But this time it’s not his skills that send him to Seattle to aid the FBI in escorting orphaned, twelve-year-old Betsy Odom to a meeting with her uncle, who’s under federal investigation. Instead, he’s hoping to lay low and keep off the radar of an enemy–the girl on the train.
But as Devine gets to know Betsy, questions begin to arise around the death of her parents. Devine digs for answers, and what he finds points to a conspiracy bigger than he could’ve ever imagined.
It might finally be time for Devine and the girl on the train to come face-to-face. Devine is going to find out the difference between his friends and his enemies–and in some cases, they might well be both.

To Die For is the third installment in author David Baldacci's The 6:20 Man series. Former Army Captain Travis Devine is being hunted and he has no idea who the people are who are trying to kill him. After landing in DC, Travis finds a note threatening his life. Who is the note from? The Girl on the Train. The Girl who Travis did not kill even though there have been 3 attempts on his life since Switzerland. We now know that some very powerful people want Travis to be removed from the board and fast.
So, before we get into the identity of who the Girl on the Train is, let's get to the main course. Travis works for the Office of Special Projects (DHS) as a closer, fixer, and investigator. He has become a pro at adapting to any situation to accomplish the mission set in front of him. Whether it’s a high-powered corporate setting or small-town community, Devine will become the man for the job. His time as an Army Ranger and on the financial battlefields of Wall Street gave him the skills he needed, and he’s put them to good use.
But this situation is much different than his previous missions. This time he is asked to travel to Seattle and meet a 12-year-old girl named Betsy who is adamant that her parents never used drugs, and that they were likely killed. But why? While he is at it, Travis has to deal with Betsy's uncle Danny Glass who, once upon a time, helped save Travis and his unit after they were ambushed. Glass, who wants to adopt Betsy, is under investigation by the FBI for a variety of things he's done that have seemingly got him into bed with some naughty people who hate this country and want to do something about it.
As Travis gets to know Betsy, and investigates the small town where her parents died, things get even more twisted. What he finds is a huge conspiracy that echoes in every walk of life. From local cops to mayors, to governors, to politicians in Washington, D.C. The question is how is Glass involved in this, and how far down the rabbit hole must Travis travel before he ends up with yet another target on his head? Luckily, Travis has an ace in the hole: The Girl on the Train. The Girl is former CIA operative Pru Jackson who was left behind to die, and now she has her own agenda.
After putting things aside, Travis and Pru, who has her own story to tell, realize that they might actually have similar reasons for being in Seattle besides the contract on his head. Plus, Pru learns that someone from her past, someone who betrayed her in the worst way possible, may be involved in what's happening around Seattle. The rollercoaster of action starts from the very first page and never stops. There is so much more to this story, with a lot going on at all times. There is no time to take a breath before more gunshots are fired in his direction.
