by David Baldacci
I was recently introduced to the work of David Baldacci by my Dad, who has enthusiastically devoured the Amos Decker thrillers in quick succession.

Excellent story! Wonderfully unique protagonist with a deep dark history. I really felt for this man who lost everything, except his memories.

I found Memory Man to be totally additive but different!What I liked: You know how you read a book and all the characters are tall, willowy, good looking and fresh.
