If you’re a fan of David Baldacci’s Amos Decker series, good news . . . the Memory Man will return in 2019.
After starring in this year’s The Fallen, FBI agent Amos Decker and his partner, Alex Jamison, will head back to Decker’s hometown to re-investigate the first murder suspect he ever arrested back when he was a young police officer, when the man once again proclaims his innocence decades later.
Detective Amos Decker discovers that a mistake he made as a rookie detective may have led to deadly consequences in the latest Memory Man thriller in David Baldacci’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Amos Decker and his FBI partner Alex Jamison are visiting his hometown of Burlington, Ohio, when he’s approached by an unfamiliar man. But he instantly recognizes the man’s name: Meryl Hawkins. He’s the first person Decker ever arrested for murder back when he was a young detective. Though a dozen years in prison have left Hawkins unrecognizably aged and terminally ill, one thing hasn’t changed: He maintains he never committed the murders. Could it be possible that Decker made a mistake all those years ago? As he starts digging into the old case, Decker finds a startling connection to a new crime that he may be able to prevent, if only he can put the pieces together quickly enough…
