About the author

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.”)

David published his first novel, Absolute Power, in 1996; the feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 52 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers, and several have been adapted for film and television. David has also published seven novels for younger readers. His books are published in over 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with over 200 million copies sold worldwide.

In addition to being a prolific writer, David is a devoted philanthropist, and his greatest efforts are dedicated to his family’s Wish You Well Foundation®. Established by David and his wife, Michelle, the Wish You Well Foundation supports family and adult literacy programs in the United States.

A lifelong Virginian, David is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia School of Law.

I have read many of this author's novels, and I have to say this was one of his best IMHO! Any novel which combines sports with great detective work is great in my book. This one does that in spades! Great characters and a great story make for a very satisfying read. Looking forward to the next one starring the "memory man"!

Just finished the 1st in Memory Man series & began the second. Very easy, quick read with so many “surprising” twists & turns. Looking forward to reading the entire series.

I liked this second book in this Baldacci series more than the first book, even though that was good. I will continue to read all of the books in the Memory Man series.

This was an audio book listened on long drive home from Florida. Loved the intrigue.

Very good, I liked the continuing development of all the characters. Eagerly awaiting Amos Decker's next adventure.

[Dana Roper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable but dragged at times. One twist that I admit I didn't see coming. Lots of football trivia.

[Amloid Mesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent Book. I needed another character to follow and wait six months to 2 years for a new book. Thanks

what an amazing read, this actually is the second book within the series for Amos Decker. I stumbled upon this series by just looking through my library book. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the first book which is called Memory Lane but I plan on doing so I look forward to reading of the series by this author and if you just like suspenseful thrillers you should pick up the series.
