About this ebook

'Baldacci is the master of American detective stories' - Jeffrey ArcherThe first in the Amos Decker series, Memory Man is an astounding novel from blockbuster author David Baldacci, where an extraordinary man races to hunt down a terrible killer.

*****

When Amos Decker returned home eighteen months ago to find the bodies of his wife and only daughter, he didn't think he could carry on living. Overwhelmed with grief, he saw his life spiral out of control, losing his job as a detective, his house and his self-respect.

But when his former partner in the police, Mary Lancaster, visits to tell him that someone has confessed to the murder of his family, he knows he owes it to his wife and child to seek justice for them.

As Decker comes to terms with the news, tragedy strikes at the local school. Thirteen teenagers are gunned down, and the killer is at large. Following the serious brain injury Amos suffered as a professional footballer, he gained a remarkable gift – and the police believe that this unusual skill will assist in the hunt for the killer.

Amos must endure the memories he would rather forget, and when new evidence links the murders, he is left with only one option.

Memory Man will stay with you long after the turn of the final page. The series continues with The Last Mile.

And enjoy more of Baldacci's enthralling writing with To Die For, the electrifying Travis Devine thriller.

I've been waiting for a top class thriller since Presumed Innocent, The Firm and Blood Work. Probably not quite as good but pretty damn close. Flawed heroes with well developed characters, very interesting themes and as any good thriller should have - lots of twists and turns. I'm giving this a 5.

Well written. Couldn't put it down. The ending was a bit of a let down. I felt that there wasn't enough information to help the reader get there on their own. Apart from that a good read.
