About this listen

Redemption is the fifth heart-pounding memory man thriller in David Baldacci’s Sunday Times bestselling series.

FBI consultant Amos Decker returns to the scene of a family tragedy, and is confronted by more than just painful memories.

A felon on a mission.

When Decker returns to Burlington, Ohio, he is tracked down by his first homicide arrest, Meryl Hawkins, a man who still maintains his innocence.

A rookie’s mistake.

With Hawkins recently released from his life sentence, Decker finds himself questioning what had once seemed watertight evidence. Is the real killer still out there?

A murderer at large.

As the body count rises in a new crime spree, Decker and his former partner Mary Lancaster dig deeper and reopen the old case – and old wounds.

Back in his home town and plagued by the ghosts of his past, Amos Decker is compelled to discover the confronting truth . . .

The fifth audiobook in the Amos Decker crime series, following the The Fallen. Continue the series with Walk the Wire.

Amos Decker remembers everything, 100% recall, the result of a condition known as hyperthymesia. But even he doesn’t recognise the man who approaches him while Decker is visiting his daughter’s grave. Decker had been responsible for putting Merryl Hawkins in prison for life for murdering four people but he has been released and he looks nothing like the man Decker investigated as a rookie homicide detective. Hawkins is dying, and he wants Decker and Decker’s former partner on the case, Mary Lancaster to clear his name. But even before Decker and Mary can talk to the man, Hawkins is murdered himself.

While it seemed to be an open and shut case at the time, Decker wonders if there is some truth in Hawkins plea of innocence. And when Decker finds his own life being threatened, he realises that someone is afraid of what he will find if the case is re-opened. But without a single clue to follow, and no authority as a law enforcement officer in his hometown, he will have to draw on not only his wits and his memory, but the goodwill of former colleagues if he is to discover the truth.

I loved the narration and the fast pace of the story that meant the miles flew by as I listened to it while driving. I had not read any of the previous Amos Decker books before and had wondered if I’d be lost, but that was not the case. Decker’s character and what brought him to this place were so skilfully inserted into the plot, I think even a Decker fan would not have found it repetitious, and a newcomer like I was, is satisfied.

It is rare for me not find some flaw in a novel but this one deserves a full five stars. It is a brilliant thriller.

A perfect thriller

I waited so long for the next story in this series and I'm so sad it's over. I loved this book, the character building and the suspense of finding out the truth. The narration, as always, was sensational. I love the male and female narrators as it gives a lot more depth to the individual characters. Please don't let it be long before we hear from Amos again.

I've missed Amos Decker

I just feel dread when you finish a great series having lived in the lives of the characters and now there’s nothing ... back to reality is like leaving a dream state with a slap in the face 😁

Oh no ... last in the series

Love the way the story zig and zags so that you can’t predict the outcome.

Building intrigue
