Memory Man (Amos Decker series)

This is a gently read book in mostly good condition.

Amos Decker could never forget the harrowing memory of their violent deaths, a memory forever etched in the most piercing shade of blue. It would strike him at unexpected moments, like a blade of colored light cutting through his soul. This burden would never leave him.

Eighteen months ago, Decker returned home to find the lifeless bodies of his wife and daughter. The grief was overwhelming, and his life fell apart—he lost his job as a detective, his home, and his self-respect. When his former police partner, Mary Lancaster, informs him that someone has confessed to the murders of his family, he knows he must seek justice for them.

Just as he begins to process this, a tragedy unfolds at the local school, where thirteen teenagers are gunned down, and the perpetrator remains on the loose. Due to a serious brain injury from his days as a professional football player, Decker has acquired a unique ability that the police believe will help in tracking down the killer. As he faces the painful memories he'd rather forget, new evidence connects the murders, leaving him with only one path to follow.
