Memory Man (Amos Decker Book 1)

Amos Decker is a police detective with perfect memory. His life was transformed twice: first when a helmet-to-helmet collision during his NFL debut ended his football career but left him with an extraordinary ability to forget nothing, and second when he returned home from a stakeout nearly two decades later to discover his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law murdered. Unable to forget any detail from that night, Decker's world collapses. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and works as a private investigator. Over a year later, a man confesses to the murders. Simultaneously, a horrific event strikes Burlington, and Decker is called back to help investigate. He seizes the opportunity to uncover the truth about his family's deaths. To solve the mystery, Decker must use his remarkable gifts while confronting the burdens they carry. He must endure the memories he would rather forget, and may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
