The fallen / David Baldacci.

Summary:

Amos Decker and his journalist friend Alex Jamison are visiting the home of Alex's sister in Barronville, a small town in western Pennsylvania that has been hit hard economically. When Decker is out on the rear deck of the house talking with Alex's niece, a precocious eight-year-old, he notices flickering lights and then a spark of flame in the window of the house across the way. When he goes to investigate he finds two dead bodies inside and it's not clear how either man died. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's something going on in Barronville that might be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of the country. Faced with a stonewalling local police force, and roadblocks put up by unseen forces, Decker and Jamison must pull out all the stops to solve the case. And even Decker's infallible memory may not be enough to save them.

    Listeners join "memory man" Amos Decker as he finds himself in the midst of a series of murders. What starts out as a simple trip ends up as a race against time to stop more murders, with Decker using his special talent to bring the story to a thrilling conclusion. Set against the bleak backdrop of a former mining town struggling with a crumbling economy and extensive drug addiction, this fast-moving story is delivered by two accomplished narrators. With Kyf Brewer's pitch-perfect delivery and skilled characterizations and Orlagh Cassidy's voices for the female protagonists, listeners are treated to an easy-to-follow and enjoyable listen. The rhythm of the dual narration is flawless and helps to differentiate the characters as well as giving the listener the sense of hearing the dialogue firsthand.
