7/4/2023 0 Comments Memory man bookThe story isn’t your run-of-the-mill vengeance thriller. Like with all of Baldacci’s work, Memory Man is a complex story with numerous angles that are interwoven masterfully. And now I’m wondering why exactly I hadn’t picked it up sooner. Memory Man has been on my to-read list for a while now. And Decker is at the center of a dangerous game orchestrated by a killer who’s not done with his list yet. But as the investigation progresses, the cops, FBI, and Decker discover that the shootings were related to the murder of sixteen months ago. The cops enlist Decker’s help because they believe that his ability could help them. Teenagers are shot dead, and the killer slips away. The local high school is attacked by a shooter. Decker barely has a chance to come to terms with the news when tragedy strikes the town yet again. Sixteen months after the incident, he’d barely picked himself up, taking up a few jobs as a PI, when his old partner tells him that a man has confessed to the murder of his wife and child. Unable to forget any detail of the night, Decker lost everything and wound up homeless on the streets of Burlington. The killer was never caught and the motive remained unknown. But the day he returned home to find his wife and daughter murdered, that gift turned into a curse. The ability was a gift for twenty years as it made him the great cop and Detective he was. It also gave him the incredible ability to never forget anything. An injury suffered during his first professional game ended Amos Decker’s football career before it had a chance to begin.
