Memory Man

More about the book

Amos Decker's life changed forever on two occasions. First, as a towering athlete from Burlington, he became the only local player to go pro, but his career ended abruptly after a violent helmet-to-helmet collision during his first play, leaving him with an extraordinary ability: he can never forget anything. The second life-altering event occurred nearly two decades later when, as a police detective, he returned home from a stakeout to find his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law brutally murdered. With his family destroyed and the killer's identity shrouded in mystery, Decker's world collapses. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and struggles to survive as a private investigator. Over a year later, a man confesses to the murders, coinciding with a horrific event that threatens Burlington. Decker is called back to assist with the investigation and sees an opportunity to uncover the truth about his family's tragic night. To reveal the shocking reality, he must confront his extraordinary memory and the painful burdens it carries, potentially facing the ultimate sacrifice in the process.
