built a life many would be proud of. But then the unthinkable happens. Standing outside the
FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. Dabney shoots school teacher Anne Berkshire in cold blood
before turning the gun on himself. One of the many witnesses is Amos Decker - a man who
forgets nothing and sees what most miss. Baffled by what appears to be a seemingly senseless
and random killing Decker is thrust into the investigation to determine what drove this family
man to pull the trigger. As part of an FBI special task force Decker and the team delve into
the lives of Dabney and Berkshire to find a connection that doesn't seem to exist. What they do
find are secrets that stretch back a lifetime and reveal a current plot of impending
destruction that will send the world reeling placing Decker and his team squarely in the cross
hairs. 'Already among the world's bestselling writers Baldacci hardly needs to prove himself
