Amos Decker's life changed forever--twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to play in the NFL. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer's identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can. But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Memory Man will stay with you long after the turn of the final page. Review: Great read! - Action packed... Twists and turns. Characters developed in an outstanding way! Highly recommend this book for those detective story lovers. Review: Recommended, enjoyable page turner - I don't normally review Kindle ebooks but I felt I must this time as many of the reviews I read were so critical I just had to buy the book to see for myself. And I'm glad I did!! If you want a fast paced thriller/murder that is enjoyable to read then this is the book for you - you will not be disappointed. At this point I should mention that I work as a book editor and need to be critical and judgmental when I edit and I read lots of fiction of varying authors and standards. So when read Kindle books I read for fun and tend to forgive the author for some unrealistic storytelling or inconsistencies as long as I enjoy the book and keep turning the pages. And there were some unrealistic parts. One that comes to mind is where the main character tells us there are approximately only twenty five people globally who have his mental condition of hyperthymesia (which is factual) but later in the book two individuals living within a reasonable proximity to each other become involved in the story - a bit of a stretch when there's only twenty five in the world. A intriguing part of the main character for me was his condition of hyperthymesia and incredible autobiographical memory. I work with returned war veterans (I have two jobs) who have mental issues due to traumatic personal events and find this area fascinating - particularly how their mental issues impact on their personal life. Most of the details of the hyperthymesia condition are clinically accurate so Baldacci has done his research in this area.Some of the reviews of this book indicate this part of the story was unrealistic but I don't agree. How traumatic events impact on specific individuals is extremely unpredictable. In short, probably not one of Baldacci's best books but good enough for four stars in my opinion. Reasonable storyline, fast paced, keeps you engaged, you can't help but identify with main character and good fun enjoyable read. And I kept turning the pages ( this is one of the main goals of an author). If this is what you look for in a book then this is the book for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #200,722 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #69 in International Mystery & Crime (Books) #263 in Police Procedurals (Books) #1,253 in Murder Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 108,089 Reviews | ## Images ![Memory Man (Memory Man Series, 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VYdemt4vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read! *by N***. on June 23, 2026* Action packed...

It is not a full five stars, but close enough. The story is an involves an unusual, but very believable protagonist. A man, Amos Decker, with hyperthymesia (can remember everything) and synesthesia (sees things and events as numbers and colors) suffers a horrific tragedy, a crime that is not solved. His world crashes and his life goes sharply downhill. Over a year later, a strange man walks into the police station and confesses out of the blue. This is the beginning of a cascade of murders with Decker at the center of everything. The question is why. Can Decker's amazing memory both help find all the clues to seemingly perfect, yet inexplicable, crimes and remember what happened in his past that seemingly triggered everything? The story is a little unusual for Baldacci, because there are no military or political themes in the novel, although Decker is a former cop. Nevertheless, the story itself is compelling; I would find that more time had past while reading than I thought, I was that wrapped up in the book. Despite my best intentions, I lost sleep. The characters are well-crafted and believable as is the plot. There are a number of twists and puzzles throughout and the resolution is unexpected, but satisfying. I have only two fairly minor complaints. While the book starts with a bang, the story abruptly slows way down for the next few chapters. We are provided Decker's background, which is the crux of the whole story, in choppy, dragged out bits. This doesn't last for too long, but it was long enough that I worried that the whole book would be comprised of random chapters that hopped around dropping facts in a disjointed manner. However, even though there are necessarily times when Decker must look into the past, after the choppy start, the story is thankfully presented in a reasonably linear fashion. My second complaint is that the story periodically slows down, frequently so Decker can go eat, in order for Decker to contemplate his life. It does provide a fuller insight into his character while emphasizing his metamorphosis into an antisocial person, but it became a tad tiresome. Regardless, these negative bits did not ruin my overall delight in the novel. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys police procedurals, crime fiction, or just a really good story. ## Frequently Bought Together - Memory Man (Memory Man Series, 1) - The Last Mile (Memory Man Series, 2) - The Fix (Memory Man Series, 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/24390916-memory-man-memory-man-series-1](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/24390916-memory-man-memory-man-series-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
