As the books explain, Decker suffers from both hyperthymesia and synesthesia, the result of a bone-crushing hit to his head while playing linebacker in the NFL. One of Baldacci’s best protagonists to date, Decker is unique due to a medical condition that has left him with a perfect memory. He was last seen in Baldacci’s Walk the Wire (2020), which followed Amos as he investigated a gruesome murder in a small North Dakota oil town. 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.On October 11, 2022, Amos Decker returns to action in Long Shadows, the latest novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.įirst introduced in the 2015 novel Memory Man, Decker quickly became a fan-favorite character on his way to anchoring six well-received thrillers over a five-year period. and forces him to reckon with his future.
