Publisher's summary

From the author of The 6:20 Man, “Memory Man” Amos Decker—an FBI consultant with perfect recall—delves into a bewildering double homicide in this thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench.

What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count—from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband—but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. Who was the real target in this vicious attack?

Meanwhile, Decker must contend with a series of unsettling changes, including a new partner—Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White—and a devastating event that brings Decker’s own tragic past back to the present . . . and forces him to reckon with his future.

As potential witnesses start disappearing, Decker and White are inexorably pulled down a twisted tunnel of secrets, crimes, and scandal—at the end of which lies Decker’s deadliest threat yet.

Lots of twists and turns!

Baldacci is definitely one of my favorite authors. 


 This David Baldacci's latest in his Memory Man series and with this, I've read all 7. 


 The story starts out with a bang. Literally. Lots of twists and turns and in my opinion, too many. After a while things got confusing and hard to keep up. If the story had been tighter, I would have easily given this 5 stars. 

I really liked the character Fredericka "Freddie" White, Amos Deckers new partner. Kudos to Baldacci for creating Fredericka, a solid and interesting Black woman character without making her one-dimensional or stereotypical. 

I'm eager to see Amos and Freddie partner up in their next case. 

Outstanding narration with this one.

Excellent book!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The characters were well developed, while leaving room for further development in the subsequent books in the series. The story was just entangled enough to be interesting and yet I could follow it well- sometimes audio books are a bit harder for me to follow as I’m very much the visual learner. I can’t wait to read or listen to more.

Great read!

Another twist & turns by David Baldacci. His work never disappoints. His ability to move the action around is always exciting.

A narrative bridge too far

The story was good although perhaps a few too many layers of red herrings for the stew.

Cassidy has improved her narration skills but still has a limited range of voices. Casting her as a black woman professional, and her mom, was perhaps a bit beyond her skill set.

Sorry to see Decker's Series End

Life goes on, and this has been true for everyone around Decker, except Decker. Thankfully, a new partner makes him see how life is worth actually living it. The ending isn't exactly an ending as much as it is Decker learning that.

Another Great Amos story.

Another great Memory man story sans Alex. It looks like Amos can work well with other lady agents who try at least to understand him.
