Together with the prospect of working with a new partner, Frederica White, Amos Decker knows that this case will take all of his special skills to solve. He is in crisis following the suicide of a close friend and receipt of a letter concerning a personal issue which could change his life forever. Things are changing for Memory Man, FBI Agent, Amos Decker. We learn she’s reluctant to return to working with Decker, saying she finds him exhausting and needed a reprieve. And here, although she pops in briefly, she seemed to be quite different to the character I knew and loved. Here his regular partner (Alex) is away again and I wonder at Baldacci’s relationship with Alex Jamison – the character he created – as he partners Decker with others often. That’s not to say we’re getting a diluted ‘Memory Man’ now, but perhaps a more realistic one, more fallible and more reliant on his detecting skills than his perfect-recall. ![]() Possibly not as much as I did when we first met him and I suspect that’s because his superpower (hyperthymesia) seems to be diminishing, or at least less obvious, along with his anti-social quirks. I say it every time I review one of the books in this series by David Baldacci, but I love Amos Decker. ![]()
