Memory Man is the novel that kicks off David Baldacci's masterful New York Times best-selling crime series starring Amos Decker. Amos Decker was the only person in his hometown of Burlington to become a professional football player, but his career ended before it began. A violent clash of heads with an opponent threw him off the field forever and left him with a strange side effect: he can never forget anything. Two decades later, his life suffered another dramatic change. Decker, now a police detective, returned home one night and entered a nightmare: his wife, daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. Unable to forget every detail of that terrible night, Decker left the police force and survived by taking occasional jobs as a private investigator. More than a year later, a man surrenders to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time, a horrifying event that shakes the city of Burlington prompts Decker to rejoin the police force, and offers him the opportunity to discover what really happened to his family.
