Part of Amos Decker, book 3
First published 2017
Amos Decker watches a man execute a woman on a busy sidewalk outside FBI headquarters, then shoot himself. The detective with perfect memory finds no link between the killer and victim. The shooter ran a consulting firm and had a family. The woman taught school. No motive surfaces. Defense Intelligence Agency operative Harper Brown tells Decker to drop the case. She claims the murder connects to classified national security matters. The DIA suspects leaked intelligence reached hostile nations or terrorist groups. An attack might be coming. Decker refuses to back down when lives hang in the balance. He forms an unwilling partnership with Brown. The detective focuses on one mission: crack the case before disaster strikes. His extraordinary memory and deductive skills face their greatest test as he races against time to prevent catastrophe.
