DESCRIPTION:
In his number-one New York Times best-seller Memory Man, David Baldacci introduced the extraordinary detective Amos Decker-the man who can forget nothing. Another man has confessed to the crime. Now, Decker returns in a spectacular new thriller THE LAST MILEConvicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. Both men's families were brutally murdered. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an intere
The second book in the Decker series is a better effort than the first The second book in the Decker series is a better effort than the first. In contrast to the first book, the plot has twists and turns but stays in the realm of the plausible. The characters get better development and the secondary characters are more interesting.

This book kind of dragged in the middle and I found myself reading other books every few chapters. Some of the twists and turns didn't quite connect for me, so even when it all came together at the end, I'm not sure I fully und
