Description

Amos Decker—the FBI consultant with a perfect memory—returns to solve a gruesome murder in a booming North Dakota oil town in the newest thriller in David Baldacci's number one New York Times best-selling Memory Man series.

When Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are called to London, North Dakota, they instantly sense that the thriving fracking town is ripe for trouble. The promise of a second gold rush has attracted an onslaught of newcomers all hoping for a windfall, and the community is growing faster than houses can be built. The sudden boom has also brought a slew of problems with it, including drugs, property crimes, prostitution—and now murder.

Decker and Jamison are ordered to investigate the death of a young woman named Irene Cramer, whose body was expertly autopsied and then dumped in the open—which is only the beginning of the oddities surrounding the case. As Decker and Jamison dig into Irene's life, they are shocked to discover that the woman who walked the streets by night as a prostitute was a teacher for a local religious sect by day—a sect operating on land once owned by a mysterious government facility that looms over the entire community.

London is a town replete with ruthless business owners, shady government officials, and religious outsiders, all determined to keep their secrets from coming out. When other murders occur, Decker will need all of his extraordinary memory and detective skills, and the assistance of a surprising ally, to root out a killer and the forces behind Cramer's death...before the boom town explodes.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Walk the Wire solidifies Baldacci's status as this generation's premier storyteller . . . The perfect thriller."—Providence Journal

"Walk the Wire may be the finest entry in David Baldacci's Memory Man series. The quality of his writing is at an all-time peak, and, fortunately for his countless fans, he is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon."—Bookreporter

I returned this book

I was very disappointed in this Baldacci book. This and the previous book has mad me reconsider buying future Baldacci books. The previous book in the series referenced that they felt a vegan diet was healthier and this book took every chance to bad mouth the oil industry. I read Baldacci books for the fiction not to have to deal with the writers mislead beliefs.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT!

I am — was a huge fan of the Memory Man Series. The first three books were fabulous. They left me gasping for the next one to be released. Then Mr. Baldacci began tinkering with the Decker character making book four somewhat of a disappointment. Now, with this book, my zeal for this series is demolished. If I had wanted to read a Will Robie book, I would have bought one. I made it through to chapter 46, but no more. I cannot finish it. I'm sorry Mr. Baldacci, but you have ruined the series for me. Never again. The old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" holds true here. You should have left well enough alone. Like backsides, everyone has an opinion and this is mine. Fans of your Will Robie series will love this book. Sadly, this will be the last Baldacci book I will buy.

Just meh

The story is pretty convoluted. Character development is minimal. It started out really interesting but in the end was just too contrived and the murders too loosely tied together. Disappointed.

Not really worth waiting for

The storyline was too busy what really did not work for me with the voices the men and ladies voice is basically sound the same there is too much going back-and-forth between the storylines an average rating

Awesome read! stoked how they meshed other books

Loved it ! Added in some cool work related information. The other series from David was meshed in there and really made this book memorable. Keep up the great work. P.s who ever gave my friend the book last mile on a flight from Edmonton. You really have showed me one of my favorite book series to date. Thank you !!

Very slow start but ended on a high note.

At the end we enjoyed the book, although the plot seem to be unnecessarily complicated. We did not enjoy the multiple narrators - we much prefer one.

Always an enjoyable story from DB.

Narration was excellent from both actors. The plot had good twists, particularly regarding the military base. I found the murder plot was a stretch and not up to Baldacci's usually excellent plot lines . Overall, still enjoyable.

Love Amos & Alex.

Most Memorable moment was the street fight (Amos & Stan), two to six, creative fight methods, excellent. Need more fight's, possibly even have Alex kick some butt along side Amos, lol. That could be potentially funny plus action packed.
