THE FALLEN

Amos Decker arrives in a small Pennsylvania town expecting a quiet break and finds a murder inquiry waiting instead. Decker, an FBI consultant whose memory holds on to everything he has ever seen, works the case with his partner Alex Jamison in a place carrying more deaths than it can account for. David Baldacci keeps the pace quick, setting the investigation against a town that lost its industry and much of its future with it, and the inquiry widens as the pair work through what local authorities overlooked. Readers new to the series can begin here, since the case stands on its own without the earlier books. Reading highlights: • The fourth case in the Amos Decker series • A small-town setting that shapes the whole investigation • Decker and Alex Jamison working the case as partners • A self-contained plot that does not require the earlier novels For readers of crime thrillers and procedural mysteries building a collection at Boipoka.
