Walk the Wire
Amos Decker—the FBI consultant with a perfect memory—returns to solve a gruesome murder in a booming North Dakota oil town in the newest thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling Memory Man series.
When Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are called to London, North Dakota, they instantly sense that the thriving fracking town is ripe for trouble. The promise of a second gold rush has attracted an onslaught of newcomers all hoping for a windfall, and the community is growing faster than houses can be built. The sudden boom has also brought a slew of problems with it, including drugs, property crimes, prostitution—and now murder.
Decker and Jamison are ordered to investigate the death of a young woman named Irene Cramer, whose body was expertly autopsied and then dumped in the open—which is only the beginning of the oddities surrounding the case. As Decker and Jamison dig into Irene's life, they are shocked to discover that the woman who walked the streets by night as a prostitute was a teacher for a local religious sect by day—a sect operating on land once owned by a mysterious government facility that looms over the entire community.
London is a town replete with ruthless business owners, shady government officials, and religious outsiders, all determined to keep their secrets from coming out. When other murders occur, Decker will need all of his extraordinary memory and detective skills, and the assistance of a surprising ally, to root out a killer and the forces behind Cramer's death . . . before the boom town explodes.

Can’t wait to read the next one. Harry Bosch has always been one of my favorite characters but the Amos Decker character is really good. Glad I finally discovered David Baldacci.

Nothing like the previous Memory Man / Amos Decker books. Dozens of different plot lines and overly complicated. A tedious and boring read. I forced myself to finish it. A very big disappointment.

The book had a reasonable story but some of the conclusions drawn were less than original. What was really bad about the book was the authors continued efforts to show his politics and attempts to influence readers with his opinions. Poor as they are. I finished hoping it would get better as I really liked the first Amos Decker book. This one has stopped me from reading any more.
