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.
PRAISE FOR MEMORY MAN
"One of the world's biggest-selling thriller writers, Baldacci needs no introduction . . . Brilliant plotting, heart-grabbing action and characters to die for" Daily Mail

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Amos Decker can’t forget anything, and we can’t forget Amos Decker. A devastating gridiron hit should have killed Decker, but instead it left him with hyperthymesia: a condition where memories are perfectly preserved and effortlessly accessible. That blessing ends up being a curse for David Balducci’s ex-cop protagonist when he discovers the dead bodies of his entire family, leaving his career and health in tatters. Unpredictable, vivid and exceptionally powerful, Memory Man follows Decker as he uncovers connections between two seemingly unconnected tragedies: the brutal murders that haunt him and a methodically executed school shooting engulfing his hometown.
Customer Reviews
Memory Man: david Baldachi
I have enjoyed this author and are a fan of his. This book wanders along and did think of closing the book permantly. So out of the 5 other DB books, i rate this one 4 out of 10. It takes a very long time before you dont want to put it down i found.
