About this listen

Remember his name: FBI Agent Amos Decker is back in a thrilling memory man investigation from number one bestseller, David Baldacci.

A town with a secret.

A lone hunter discovers the remains of a woman in North Dakota’s Badlands. She appears to have had a post-mortem performed on her reminiscent of those only seen on TV shows – but this time, there was no slab, morgue or camera in sight.

A victim without a past.

The reason why Irene Cramer’s death merits an FBI investigation becomes rapidly clear when key questions surface about her mysterious past. Little is known about this school teacher, where she came from or her true identity. She clearly had something to hide.

A hero with a unique skill.

FBI investigator, Amos Decker and his colleague, Alex Jamison, are summoned to seek answers in the local community of London, North Dakota, which sits at the very heart of the fracking industry. Enriched with oil money, jealousy and a deep-set rivalry lie beneath a veneer of glitz and opulence.

Decker soon realizes that the nearby ‘eye in the sky’, the Air Force Station, may hold the vital clues and that this town holds secrets so explosive that they could destabilize the entire country . .

Walk the Wire by David Baldacci is the sixth audiobook in the Amos Decker series. Continue the investigative thrillers with Long Shadows.

Once listened, never forgotten.

Loved it from start to finish, not quite as much as the earlier books in the Amos Decker series but immensely nevertheless. Captivating, brilliantly crafted and original, this had me hanging and warmed my heart. Wonderful narrators kept up a fast, flowing pace. I was delighted to see Amos meet Will Robie and Michelle, I'm excited to see where the series goes.

Another brilliant masterpiece

I’ve not read a David Baldacci previously and this was fun. Easy to read. Not my favourite book but ok.

Good read

This is not the best Decker, though still intriguing. Balducci continues to use the model of a man who can't forget, combined witha form of synesthesia to solve mysteries. It would be great to see side-kick Jamieson's character develop into more than a Greek chorus.

A just in time police procedural, with some intriguing plot twists and turns. Not so keen on the tag team narration, wasn't quite natural.
