Amos Decker, Alex, and the other members of their FBI team are living in Washington DC. One day as Amos is walking to the Hoover Building, he sees a man shoot a woman right in front of him. At first it seems like the man and the woman have no connection. The man is a respected owner of a company that does government contracts. The woman is a teacher at a catholic school and visits a hospice as a volunteer. As Decker's team digs deeper into the mystery they learn that not everything, or everyone, are as they seem. As Decker uses his amazing memory and the rest of the teem use their unique abilities, to get to the root of the case, people keep showing up who want to kill them.
This is the third in the Memory Man series. I really like this series. It is intellectual, and Decker is an interesting character. Alex is also a good character, and the new character introduced in this book, Harper Brown, also has promise. There is action, but it isn't all action. There are enough clues that the reader can try to figure things out, but the ending isn't totally predictable. As I have said about this series before, I am glad it doesn't have some of the more distasteful elements you find in other "thriller" type mysteries. (2017, 434 p)
