THE LAST MILE
Convicted 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. Another man has confessed to the crime.
Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars’s case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men … own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men’s families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth.
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. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.
In his #1 New York Times bestseller Memory Man, David Baldacci introduced the extraordinary detective Amos Decker-the man who can forget nothing. Now, Decker returns in a spectacular new thriller . . .

I can never get enough of David Baldacci!
I wasn’t sure I liked the new Baldacci character, Amos Decker, but in this second book, he begins to evolve and relate more to other characters. I find you can’t go wrong with David Baldacci – have yet to find a book of his that I didn’t like!
Didn’t want to put it down. Most interesting story and approach to a solution. Unexpected result through a weaving of episodes.
If it is written by David Baldacci it is going to be great!
I enjoy all of David Baldacci’s books. Great writer.
I miss all the regulars in the “Stone” series but am beginning to get attached to Amos. Looking forward to a long run.
