Description
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.
Reviews
Great book!
5By bloom727This was one of the better books I’ve read. It also had life lessons in it great read!Too Long Shadows
1By FuMeJessPainful! I forced myself to read more than 50% of the book and lost hope that it was going to actually get better! I’ve read several of the author’s books and enjoyed them very much, but this, the last in the series so far, was painful! Literally painful! The “mysterious/thrilling” parts were painfully predictable causing a deep seated annoyance that I just could not get over. I hope this was just a one-off, UGH!😣Long Shadows
5By DLWenderCould not put this book down, a real page turner and “who dunnit” mystery thriller. Great character narratives. Complex plot that weaves in and out, but comes together beautifully with Amos Decker’s superpowers. Highly recommend!Long Shadows—great read
5By Needs a TOCA case very puzzling and complex even for Decker. Decker becoming more “feeling” with a changing brain. A new partner; a new boss. And Baldacci weaves a compelling murder mystery to keep you edge of your seat.Excellent!

5By playingforpizzaThis book was fantastic . The whole series is amazing. Highly recommend. Cannot say enough good things.Good partners
5By Clogue33A little long but good ending. I knew it, too. Kinda…Amos comes through again
5By TheRevMikeAmos usually surprises me and he did so again in this, the latest book in the series. Amos seems to become more human and he finds a way to adapt to radical change in his life, his career and his partner.Long Shadows
5By SgtbruteGood read. Two items need corrected. The scene describing Amos Decker on the beach at night seeing jet contrails is not accurate. Contrails cannot be seen at night. Also, the the offer of Alex’s boyfriend to fly by private jet to Saint Barts is not possible. The runway at this airport can only accept aircraft able to perform short take offs and landings. Jet aircraft are not capable of these performance characteristics.Amazing! Stunning!
5By PahealerThe truth is, when you read his books, you absolutely can expect the unexpected! The twists and turns are really something! Don’t know how he keeps doing it
