Synopsis

From the author of The 6:20 Man, “Memory Man” Amos Decker—an FBI consultant with perfect recall—delves into a bewildering double homicide in this thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench.  

What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count—from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband—but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. Who was the real target in this vicious attack?  

Meanwhile, Decker must contend with a series of unsettling changes, including a new partner—Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White—and a devastating event that brings Decker’s own tragic past back to the present . . . and forces him to reckon with his future.

As potential witnesses start disappearing, Decker and White are inexorably pulled down a twisted tunnel of secrets, crimes, and scandal—at the end of which lies Decker’s deadliest threat yet.

Goodreads review by Sheyla ✎ on March 04, 2023

I wasn't expecting a change! Since I liked this series from the beginning, I don't read the blurbs anymore so I was shocked to see so many changes happening with this series. First Amos receives a call that leaves him disturbed and profoundly sad. Then I realized Boggart, his boss has retired and Ale......more

Another long overdue book review coming to Goodreads. This is Baldacci’s character Amos Decker, known as the “memory man.” He does not like change, and in this particular book, he is thrust into it.

Amos Decker is one of my favourite fictional detectives. Injured whilst playing football, Amos is known as the Memory Man, he remembers everything he sees.

In this 7th book in the 'Amos Decker' series, the detective investigates a double murder in South Florida. The book can be read as a standalone but familiarity with the series is a plus. ***** Amos Decker, 6'5" tall and hefty, was a professional football player until a massive hit ended his career and......more
