Publisher's summary

"Decker is one of the most unusual detectives any novelist has dreamed up." (Washington Post)

Amos Decker is the Memory Man. Following a football-related head injury that altered his personality, Decker is now unable to forget even the smallest detail - as much a curse as it is a blessing. And in number one New York Times best-selling author David Baldacci's gripping new thriller, Decker's life might be about to change again....

Something sinister is going on in Baronville. The rust belt town has seen four bizarre murders in the space of two weeks. Cryptic clues left at the scenes - obscure Bible verses, odd symbols - have the police stumped.

Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are in Baronville visiting Alex's sister and her family. It's a bleak place: a former mill and mining town with a crumbling economy and rampant opioid addiction. Decker has been there only a few hours when he stumbles on a horrific double murder scene.

Then the next killing hits sickeningly close to home. And with the lives of people he cares about suddenly hanging in the balance, Decker begins to realize that the recent string of deaths may be only one small piece of a much larger scheme - with consequences that will reach far beyond Baronville.

Decker, with his singular talents, may be the only one who can crack this bizarre case. Only this time - when one mistake could cost him everything - Decker finds that his previously infallible memory may not be so trustworthy after all...

The Fallen

Very well done. Again another thriller could stop listening. enjoyed it very much. I reccomend it.

Twists and Turns

This series gets better and better, just when I believe Mr Baldacci can’t out do the last book he goes and proves me wrong.
Amos is a complicated man and just before you start to despise him he does something to redeem himself.
This story took a lot of twists and turns, I had a couple of things figured out and a couple of things totally wrong. It was a fantastic story and I’m ready for another one!!

Great book it was written well and can’t be read on the CD your pants I enjoyed this book very much

Again, this was an awesome book well written, kept in suspense, not knowing what was going to happen. It was great.

Great Read

This is a great read as are all of David Baldacci's books. Love the Amos Decker series.

Language

This series has a bit more bad language than I like especially when I'm listening with Audible. I love the story line. He always throws a twist in there that surprises me. That's a good thing!

Great plot that kept me interested all the way.

I enjoyed the story all the way through. Interesting variety of characters. The narration was well done. Female voices sounded feminine, unlike some audio books.

Fabulous story & narration

Loved the story and the new ration. The words really came to life, and I was riveted by the mystery.
