Notable People: David Baldacci
Title: “The Last Mile”
Review: The second in Baldacci’s Amos Decker series, in which Memory Man Decker (who has perfect photographic recall as a result of football hit in first NFL game that altered his brain) joins the FBI as special civilian and pursues a forty-year-old case to free a man from being executed. Along the way, it tackles church bombings in Alabama and Mississippi in the late 6os and the general state of racism and politics in the South. Well written book that drifted to un- believability at times, but has very strong characters, led by the eccentric and formidable Decker, who you just wanna give a hug.
