I am a fan of David Baldacci always loved his books and writing style he never lets you down
all his books cary you right to the end.As much as i loved Target this book is David Baldacci's
best ever,it takes a unique concept, unique idea and runs with it this book has movie written
all over it and as sure as im sitting here it's the beginning of a remarkable series.

A large, looming athlete, he was the only individual from his home town of Burlington ever to
play pro football. But his occupation ended before it had a probability to begin. On his very
first play, a brutal helmettohelmet
collision knocked him off the field for good, and left him
with an impossible side effecthe
can never forget anything.
Almost two decades afterwards now a police detective, Decker returned home from a
stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare his wife, young daughter, and brotherinlaw
had been murdered.
His family demolished, their killer's id as unexplained as the objective behind the crime, and
not able to forget a single detail from that terrible night, Decker finds his world crumbling
around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking
minor jobs as a private investigator when he can.
But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At
the same time a horrifying event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called
back in to help with this investigation. Decker also grabs his chance to learn what really
happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable
gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he
would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Amos Decker, an exceptional athlete who made it to the NFL, encountered a
helmettohelmet
impact on his first play that transformed his life permanently. From that
instant, Decker's brain changed and he lost the capacity to forget. The whole world became a
plethora of colors and memories that he could effortlessly access. With his new capabilities,
he's the ideal applicant to become a police detective. He can go to a crime scene once and
walk through it over and over again in his brain, and he can remember word for word
testimony by a witness or suspect.
His life is demolished when he comes home and finds that his wife, young daughter and
brotherinlaw
have been murdered. He can never forget about the scene, and with no
witnesses and little data, he sinks into hopelessness. Decker ends up leaving the force and
becomes homeless. He works as a private detective but has few clients, and he's humiliated
by his overall look and how low he has fallen.
