    Amos Decker's life changed forever twice. First, as a towering athlete from Burlington, he became the only local to go pro, but his career ended abruptly due to a violent helmet-to-helmet collision, leaving him with an extraordinary ability: he can never forget anything. The second life-altering event occurred nearly two decades later when, as a police detective, he returned home to find his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law murdered. With his family gone and the killer's identity shrouded in mystery, Decker's world collapses. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and ends up on the streets, taking sporadic jobs as a private investigator. Over a year later, a man confesses to the murders, coinciding with a horrific event that threatens Burlington. Decker is called back to assist with the investigation, seizing the opportunity to uncover the truth about his family's tragic fate. To reveal the shocking reality, he must utilize his unique abilities while confronting the painful memories he wishes to forget. Ultimately, he may face the ultimate sacrifice in his quest for answers.

    When a convicted killer is saved by another man's confession, Amos Decker, now an FBI special task force detective, must find the truth in this "utterly absorbing" #1 New York Times bestseller (Associated Press). Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.
