Books like Memory Man by David Baldacci

Amos Decker vanished from the NFL after a catastrophic collision left him with an extraordinary gift: an unbreakable photographic memory. Years later, a brutal home invasion eradicates his family, forcing him to quit the police force and become a solitary private investigator. Reuniting with a lone confessor and confronting a new crisis threatens his hometown of Burlington, Maine. Decker must sift through unprovoked memories to piece together the motives, the perpetrator, and the hidden agenda that drove the murders. With each detail, he balances the lure of closure against the burden of remembering a violence he cannot forget. In this pulse‑pounding thriller, Decker’s unique mental ability becomes both his greatest asset and a weighty albatross, demanding he make impossible choices to protect what remains of his world.
