In "The 6:20 Man" by David Baldacci a cryptic murder pulls a former soldier turned financial analyst deep into the corruption and menace that prowl beneath the opulent world of finance. The lone survivor of a brutal family massacre must uncover the awful truth about the fateful night that left her forever marked in "The Girl Who Survived" by Lisa Jackson. Detective Elise King investigates a man's disappearance in a seaside town where the locals and weekenders are at odds with each other in "Local Gone Missing" by Fiona Barton. On the edge of the Everglades, an eerie crime scene sets off an investigation that sends two agents deep into a world of corrupted faith, greed and deadly secrets in "Danger in Numbers" by Heather Graham.
