La vida de Amos Decker cambió para siempre… dos veces.

La primera vez fue en el terreno de juego. Amos, atleta alto y robusto, era la única persona de Burlington, su ciudad natal, que se convirtió en jugador profesional de fútbol americano, pero su carrera terminó antes de comenzar. Durante la primera jugada un violento choque de su cabeza contra la de un rival lo expulsó del campo para siempre y le provocó un extraño efecto secundario: nunca puede olvidar nada.
La segunda vez ocurrió casi dos décadas después. Decker, convertido en inspector de policía, regresó una noche a su casa y entró en una pesadilla: su mujer, su joven hija y su cuñado habían sido asesinados. Tanto la identidad del asesino como el motivo del crimen eran un misterio. Incapaz de olvidar cada detalle de esa noche terrible, Decker abandonó la policía y sobrevivió aceptando ocasionales trabajos como detective privado.

Más de un año después, un hombre se entrega a policía y confiesa ser el autor de los asesinatos. Al mismo tiempo, un acontecimiento horroroso sacude a la ciudad de Burlington y Decker vuelve a incorporarse al cuerpo policial para investigarlo, pero al mismo tiempo, decidido a aprovechar la oportunidad que se le presenta de descubrir lo que realmente le ocurrió a su familia.

Para desvelar la verdad deberá recurrir a sus notables cualidades y enfrentarse a la carga que estas conllevan: soportar los recuerdos que preferiría olvidar y verse obligado, quizá, a hacer el máximo sacrificio.

Baldacci, David - Zero day - Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub
Zero Day is a thriller novel written by David Baldacci. This is the first installment in the John Puller book series. Mountain-sized and über-brainy, John Puller is about as unconquerable as mere mortals get to be. An (More) ex-warrior—Iraq, Afghanistan and wherever else his country’s enemies happened to be entrenched—he’s served with unvarying distinction. As a consequence, the fruit salad (Army slang for medals) he pins to his dress uniform tells a glory story already the stuff of legend. These days, however, Warrant Officer Puller fights a somewhat different kind of war—quieter perhaps, but only marginally less dangerous.
Baldacci, David - Hell's Corner - Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub
Oliver Stone is an American ex-agent, or better still, an assassin who worked for the American government and retired. During a walk, he witnesses by chance a murder attempt against the UK’s Prime Minister in the park in front of (More) the White House. The President of the USA asks him personally to investigate the case and promises to re-instate him and destroy his personal file. The plot is complicated and unpredictable, as only until the end no one knows who is the good one and the assassin. A positive aspect is the stress put into Oliver’s friendship with those who help him whenever he needs their help. It may not be suitable for young readers as the agents who work for the government are actually assassins who kill indiscriminately those they see as a danger. Although the main character is not proud of his work and even suffers because for what he has done in the past, he does it as the most normal thing, an approach which may confuse the moral sense of justice of some readers.
