Absolutely spectacular! We hope to see more of the 620 Man.
We return to him with his latest and greatest featuring Amos Decker, The Memory Man, which is Long Shadows. He's teamed up with a new partner and together, they work to solve a mystery in South Florida that unravels interestingly as a federal judge is murdered. It's the seventh in this series and it weighs in at well over 400 pages, so it is a great weekend project!
A shot is fired and you're immediately drawn in. As always, we will never give it away.
Characters confront death and the memories of their past loved ones often in this book, so if you are someone that has had a hard time with this in the wake of covid happening in the past few years, we recommend this especially for you.
Of course Baldacci probably wrote this knowing nothing about Hurricane Ian but Florida residents know that probably the three bridges that they talk about in Sanibel Island might really be a work of fiction these days.
There are a lot of moving parts between places and characters so be certain to keep it all straight!
Long Shadows is Recommended by Whom You Know.
The Memory Man is back! Amos Decker, an FBI consultant with perfect recall, delves into a bewildering double homicide in LONG SHADOWS (October 11, 2022; Grand Central Publishing), the new 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 gangs, 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.
