In his novel, "Memory Man" David Baldacci created one of the most original detectives in fiction. Due to an accident Amos Decker's mind cannot forget anything. He can take part in a situation, or read something and can call up the incident anytime with a total remembrance of every detail involved. In "The Last Mile" Decker joins an FBI special task force with the mission of looking into older cases, bringing up the facts and finding additional evidence in order to solve the case. Decker on joining the task force arrives with an interest in looking at a situation involving Melvin Mars, a convict on death row with his execution pending shortly. Amos is struck by the similarity between Mars' case and his own personal experience. Both have had their families murdered and both have had someone come forward years after the crimes and confess to the killings. Another commonality is that both Mars and Decker were talented football players in their youth with both having their careers cut short by the tragedies befalling them. In the case of Melvin Mars he was charged with and convicted of the murders of his parents and sentenced to death. Decker and his group pick up the case at the time that another individual in another prison's death row comes forward and confesses to the killings of Mars' family. The confession has the potential to get Melvin out of prison and returning him to society. The twists and turns in looking at the case provide a rollercoaster ride for the reader making this one of the better who done its in a long time. Cementing Decker's belief that there is a lot more than first appears is the disappearance and probable kidnapping of one of the members of his team. Mr Baldacci's portrait of Amos Decker is striking in itself.
