    Summary of The 6:20 Man - Willie M. Joseph

    CHAPTER

    1

    Trevor Devine worked in Wall Street's version of high finance. His chief concerns were quarterly earnings projections, liquidity, free and closed markets, monopolies and oligarchies. And most significant of all, the persons sitting right next to him at the office. He lived in Mount Kisco with three other twentysomethings in a saggy town house. When he was in the Army, his father fired him for playing soldier instead of earning a living.

    Devine loved the dangerous and demanding quick-strike missions that came with being a member of the Ranger Regiment. His skills put him at the top of the food chain with orcas and great whites, he said.

    CHAPTER

    2

    Every time he looked out, another structure was going up, or an existing one was being made even more lavish. It kept the working class employed, so there was some good in the greed and pretentiousness. A woman sauntered out from the rear door of the largest palace in this enclave. She had on a short, white terry cloth robe that clung to her tanned thighs. When she took it off, revealed an emerald-green string bikini and a body too flawless to be genuine.

    Devine had never seen her strip down before. He wondered what had caused her to do it beyond some sort of playful impulse. Devine looked around at the mostly twentysomethings on the train. They looked back at him, smiled and mouthed, WTF was that?

    CHAPTER

    3

    Sara Ewes had been found hanging in a storage room on the fifty-second floor of the very building Devine was in. She had just turned twenty-eight, Devine knew, and had been at Cowl and Comely a little over six years. Travis Devine read the email and wondered what was going on. He felt a wave of dread spill over his body. The fifty-second floor was known as Area 51, and he had heard rumors that no one worked there.

    It might just be the firm's high-frequency trading platform. What's going on, Wanda?. Sara Ewes was a mentor to your class of interns, Wanda Simms said. What happened to her?. He didn't have to pretend to be surprised that the message was accurate.

    I can't believe she's dead, said Simms Devine as they rode the elevator together. Suicides were often planned, it certainly sounded like this one had been. Given time, they perhaps could have grown to love each other. But it hadn't turned out that way.

    CHAPTER

    4

    Travis Devine was on the evening train home from work. He hadn't looked up at the sky since going to work for Cowl and Comely. Money was already being made and lost overseas in Asian markets that would be officially up and running in about an hour. The pool was littered with guests in chic dress that managed to be both casual and, he was sure, costly. It angered Devine that Cowl was having a party on the same day of his employee's death.

    Devine Sr. had been thrilled when he told his son he was getting an MBA. After Devine got the job at Cowl and Comely, his father had taken him out to dinner and gotten drunk.

    I didn't have time to feel it. The blast knocked me ass-over-heels unconscious. But when I woke up, I did. Thank God for morphine. He let his trouser leg drop.

    But I thought you wanted to ask about Sara Ewes. I thought I was doing great till you laid that on me, Hancock said. I make a hundred and
