Travis Devine fills a Jack Reacher sized hole in the thriller/murder mystery genre:

• Super investigator skills
• Former military
• Killer at fighting (literally)

… But Devine is a little younger and smaller (more normal sized?) than Reacher. 

2nd book in a series, easily read as a stand alone. I liked this one better than the first. Highly recommend the audio book; the narrators captured the tension and drama. 

Content warning: A central character survived a sexual assault years before the events in the book. The survivor has no memory of the event and eventually

faces her attacker and fights him, stabs him.

My husband and I listened to this as we were driving home from vacation. Baldacci is just a good story teller. I think it wasn't quite as clever as the first 6:20 Man but still good and I learned quite a bit about lobstering.
