Description

From the author of *The 6:20 Man* comes a gripping new thriller in David Baldacci’s bestselling *Memory Man* series. FBI consultant Amos Decker, known for his flawless memory, is drawn into a baffling double murder in South Florida.

The case seems straightforward at first: a federal judge and her bodyguard are found dead. The judge’s face is covered with a blindfold crudely cut to expose her eyes—a clear statement that she had made plenty of enemies throughout her career.

But appearances can be deceiving. The judge’s list of adversaries is long, from dangerous criminals like gang members and smugglers to a bitter ex-husband. Adding to the mystery, the bodyguard’s presence raises even more questions. Was the judge the intended target, or was the attack meant for someone else?

As Decker works through the complexities of the case, he must also navigate major changes in his own life. He’s assigned a new partner, Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White, and faces a personal crisis that drags his painful past back to the surface, forcing him to confront what lies ahead.

When witnesses begin to vanish, Decker and White are pulled into a web of secrets, crime, and corruption. As they follow the dangerous trail to its dark conclusion, Decker finds himself facing the most lethal threat of his career.
