Free Audio Book : The Edge, By David Baldacci

In a quiet coastal town in Maine, a grave situation unfolds. CIA agent Jenny Silkwell, privy to America's most guarded secrets, has been found dead, and the race is on to solve her murder and secure the sensitive information she carried. The U.S. government turns to Travis Devine, a former Army Ranger with a knack for high-stakes investigations, to unravel this complex case.

Devine, known for his sharp analytical skills honed in the military and during his brief stint in the corporate world, is no stranger to daunting tasks. His previous success in dismantling a massive financial scheme has marked him as an ideal candidate for this mission. However, he soon realizes that this small town is a labyrinth of hidden agendas and closely-guarded secrets, making the investigation anything but simple.

To crack the case, Devine must navigate the intricate web of relationships in Putnam, Maine. He encounters Dak, Jenny's brother, who is passionately involved in local revitalization efforts; Earl, the retired lobsterman who stumbled upon Jenny's body; and Alex, Jenny's sister, who harbors a troubled history. As Devine delves deeper, he discovers that every answer leads to more questions, and the town's long history of secrecy means that trust is a rare commodity. With time running out, Devine finds himself in a precarious position, uncertain of whom to trust and aware that some are determined to keep the truth buried at any cost.
