MEMORY MAN
David Baldacci
MacMillan
It’s always such a treat when a series writer you enjoy dreams up a brand new character. Baldacci’s Memory Man features Amos Decker, a former detective whose life falls apart when his family is murdered. Sixteen months later, having hit rock bottom, Decker hears that a man has confessed to the brutal killings. But while he’s still trying to process that news, a mass shooting takes place at the local school.
What makes Decker so intriguing is that a sporting accident years back left his brain changed forever – he cannot forget anything. Both a curse and a blessing, that gift makes him the ideal person to have on the shooting case, but will he be able to focus knowing that the man who killed his wife and daughter has surfaced? Baldacci tells a riveting story, impeccably plotted.
