Description
Detective Amos Decker discovers that a mistake he made as a rookie detective may have led to deadly consequences in this compelling Memory Man thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Decker is visiting his hometown of Burlington, Ohio, when he's approached by a man named Meryl Hawkins. Hawkins is a convicted murderer. In fact, he's the very first killer Decker ever put behind bars. But he's innocent, he claims. Now suffering from terminal cancer, it's his dying wish that Decker clear his name.
It's unthinkable. The case was open and shut, with rock solid forensic evidence. But when Hawkins turns up dead with a bullet in his head, even Decker begins to have doubts. Is it possible that he really did get it wrong, all those years ago?
Decker's determined to uncover the truth, no matter the personal cost. But solving a case this cold may be impossible, especially when it becomes clear that someone doesn't want the old case reopened. Someone who is willing to kill to keep the truth buried, and hide a decades-old secret that may have devastating repercussions . . .

Kept be reading
4By Dollybolly1Great bookMost wonderful experience!
5By PahealerThis book is unusual and a testament to the skill of the author. OMG every time I think I know what’s going on he pulls another rabbit out of the hat. It’s a long book but quite amazing!!!Disappointed.
1By guytfhim rscvI struggled to finish this book, and ultimately failed. I liked the first couple of books in the series, but the shark has been well and truly jumped.Amos
4By TedSummersAnother good, but not great Amos Decker adventureRedemptin
3By sfbuckGood plot. End rushed. Too much self pity. 3.5.Decent writing, but
3By Longhorn5555the plots always seem implausible and simplistic. Instead of something straightforward it’s like he tries so hard the result becomes this hodgepodge of mashed up unrealistic scenarios. But, the writings decent.Sloooow
2By Holoholo19I have no appetite to read this any longer. I’ve read and enjoyed all his books. This one..... i just lost interest...Redemption
4By WaxisDead :-(Amazing story again!!! Only issue, not sure if related to download of the book to my iPad ?IOS version (most up to date per settings), there were a lot of grammatical &/or mis-spellings????? I.E.: curb (kerb)...Exceeded my expectations
4By ginger pumpkinReally enjoyed joyed the unexpected plot twists. Melvin Mars has emerged as a very interesting addition.Weakest book on Amos
3By italiankaPrevious books in this series were much better. I appreciated most of it anyway, but the ending was rushed, quite superficial. And Amos is like a poot wet dog sometimes, not a character I was used to
