The Fix by David Baldacci - Amos Decker #3

 I recently listened to The Fix, the third book in the Amos Decker series. I had read The Memory Man and really liked it. 

About: "Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself. 

Even with Decker's extraordinary powers of observation and deduction, the killing is baffling. Decker and his team can find absolutely no connection between the shooter--a family man with a successful consulting business--and his victim, a schoolteacher. Nor is there a hint of any possible motive for the attack.

Enter Harper Brown. An agent of the Defense Intelligence Agency, she orders Decker to back off the case. The murder is part of an open DIA investigation, one so classified that Decker and his team aren't cleared for it.

But they learn that the DIA believes solving the murder is now a matter of urgent national security. Critical information may have been leaked to a hostile government--or worse, an international terrorist group--and an attack may be imminent."

I enjoy they Amos Decker books. The man who can forget nothing as a result of a head injury. He uses this in his job to find the bad guys though. 

Really good story with many, many twists and turns and a surprise ending. There is so much Amos and company have to figure out, and have several near misses, that the middle got a little bogged down for me. Very good ending. I maybe should go back and read book two...

I liked it enough that I do want to move on to the next book. I want to see how Decker's relationship with Jamieson develops. I am also intrigued by his memory thing. 

I also really like Baldacci's Atlee Pine series.
