★ "Fast-moving excitement with a satisfying finish." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Nondescript operative Travis Devine is asked to escort a young girl to a man he can’t trust in this nonstop action thriller. Former Army Ranger and Wall Street whiz Travis Devine is tasked with guarding orphaned 12-year-old Betsy Odom as she goes to meet her uncle, who is up on racketeering charges. But questions about the supposed drug-related death of Betsy’s parents as well as the reappearance of Travis’ old nemesis complicate the job, putting both Travis and Betsy on edge. David Baldacci knows how to crank up the tension, making us nervous for the toughened Travis and his innocent charge. As the pair piece together the disturbing truth about what happened to her family, the story builds into an even more complex, character-driven thriller. To Die For kept us rooting for Travis and young Betsy throughout the tale—even as we wondered how they would make it through this treacherous thrill ride alive.

The story starts strong and just gets better. Travis Devine, from homeland security gets to meet Betsy Odam. Betsy has just lost her parents, an FBI agent is keeping watch on her. Her uncle is a criminal, and wants custody of her. It’s a great story, and a must read.
