Decker going back home to deal with old memories

Redemption (Amos Decker #5) - David Baldacci

Are we trapped in bad memories? We do sometimes. That's why there are recreational drugs and alcohol to numb us into a state that we don't feel that much pain any more.

 

Decker was back to visit the grave of his family on his daughter's birthday. He thought he has more time with his family so he missed dinner together to do OT. 

 

That's why we have to what OT is sometimes, that's time away from family, and sending the wrong message that work is more important than family. 

 

in visiting the grave, a dying convict that Decker put into jail declared his innocence. 

 

Decker is skeptic, but agreed to meet again and talk.

 

And found him dead. 

 

That's started the story. Amos Decker refused to let this go. And putting his FBI job at risk as this is not a FBI case. 

 

He continued working on the case alone, when Alex was called in to work on another FBI case. 

 

Mars came to helped out. 

 

And he was needed as someone tried to kill Decker and seems to kill a fellow police official instead. 

 

Who is killing all these people and why?

 

Baldacci has created another winner with plot twits. 

 

So, not to go into too much of the story. It is about memories and how we live with them. It is about second chances. 

 

It is really good one as the villains were hidden from Decker and the reader. It is fun to do that if it is done right. 

 

Enjoy this one. 5 stars.
