Publisher Description
Amos Decker is a former professional football player whose career was ended by a terrible hit. Now a police detective, Amos is still haunted by a side effect from the accident he can never forget. One night Decker comes home from a stakeout to find his wife, young daughter and brother-in-law horrifically murdered. Obviously scarred and nearly broken, Decker has to use his skills as a detective and his unusual brain capacity to try and catch the monster who killed his family.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
David Baldacci’s Inside Story: “This book introduces Amos Decker and it’s the novel where I feel I did everything that I wanted to do. It’s one of the very few things that I’ve written where I don’t have any regrets—I don’t think that I missed anything or had a false note anywhere. Mainly because I feel that the character is so interesting. Now, wherever I go, people talk about two series. They talk about The Camel Club and they talk about Amos Decker. It’s a bit like when you’re an athlete: I left everything on the field with this novel. I gave it my all.”
Customer Reviews
Amos Decker #1, Definitely a Page Turner
A strong story introducing Amos Decker
Better than expected
Looking forward to the rest of the series
A far fetched yarn
I stuck it out until the end but wished this weird tale, which ventured into an almost comic book fantasy at times, would end long before it did. True, it kept my attention but not enough, as I had nights off without unduly missing it. So in summary, too long and too distanced from reality.
Far Fetched
An enjoyable thriller and Amos Decker is a great creation, but how on earth are we to believe that the police and FBI let first, a PI and then a reporter, get involved with an investigation and end up running it. Come on ....!!!
