    Amos Decker would forever remember all three of their violent deaths in the most paralyzing shade of blue. It would cut into him at unpredictable moments, like a gutting knife made of colored light. He would never be free from it.' 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 by David Baldacci will stay with you long after the turn of the final page.

    When a convicted killer is saved by another man's confession, Amos Decker, now an FBI special task force detective, must find the truth in this "utterly absorbing" #1 New York Times bestseller (Associated Press). Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

    Wanneer FBI-agent Amos Decker en journaliste Alex Jamison op bezoek gaan bij Jamisons zus in Baronville, een stadje in Pennsylvania dat betere tijden heeft gekend, raken ze op de eerste dag al betrokken bij een moordonderzoek. Die avond ziet Decker in het raam van een verderop gelegen huis een flikkerend licht, gevolgd door vlammen. Nieuwsgierig geworden gaat hij op onderzoek uit, maar wat hij ontdekt is veel meer dan een beginnende brand. In het huis bevinden zich twee doden. Het ene slachtoffer is opgehangen en op de vloer onder zijn lichaam bevindt zich een enorme plas bloed. De andere man draagt een politie-uniform en ligt met schuim rond zijn lippen in de kelder. Wie de twee doden zijn, weet niemand. Diezelfde avond nog krijgen Decker en Jamison te horen dat het niet om een opzichzelfstaand incident gaat. In de weken daarvoor zijn meerdere moorden gepleegd en de plaatselijke politie – die weinig mensen en middelen tot haar beschikking heeft – staat voor een raadsel. Wanneer Decker zijn hulp aanbiedt, wordt deze schoorvoetend geaccepteerd. Algauw blijkt echter dat hij niet de enige federale agent is die interesse in de zaak toont. Want de moorden in Baronville zouden weleens te maken kunnen hebben met een veel grotere dreiging op nationaal niveau.
