"A compelling puzzler...Baldacci is a truly gifted storyteller, and
this novel is a perfect "fix" for the thriller
aficionado."--Associated Press on The Fix
PRAISE FOR THE MEMORY MAN SERIES: "Baldacci is a wonderful
storyteller, and he incorporates wonderful characters into baffling
conspiracies....He takes on small-town America, capturing both good
and bad elements. He demonstrates why these small towns are worth
saving. It's a theme he has explored before, but it still has
potency and relevance."--Associated Press on The Fallen
"Amos Decker is an amazing character. Reading how Decker journeys
from hitting rock bottom to finding ultimate redemption is nothing
short of rewarding."--Associated Press
"Baldacci turns up the suspense and surprises at a rapid pace in
Redemption without sacrificing character or story. With the
personal stakes and the steep learning curve that Decker must
overcome to find justice, the narrative carries a heavier emotional
impact. Essentially, this is another great novel from a master
storyteller."--Associated Press
"Baldacci's novels always have an emotional component...But MEMORY
MAN stands out among his thrillers for its deeply felt - and earned
- sense of catharsis and healing...Baldacci's last few books have
been among his best, and it's a pleasure to see him produce
emotionally and dramatically intense work at the height of his
maturity as a novelist."--Richmond Times-Dispatch on Memory Man
"Crackling with tension...Reads at a breakneck pace...Bestselling
author David Baldacci delivers a thrill ride, as always. Big time.
Pick up THE FIX, and you won't put it down until you reach the end.
Guaranteed."--BookReporter.com on The Fix
"Decker is one of the most unusual detectives any novelist has
dreamed up...a master class on the bestseller....Highly
entertaining."--Washington Post
"Little by little he thaws the case out, exposing a town full of
secrets that have far-reaching, international ramifications.
Redemption's unusual plot will have you wanting to step back and
say 'wait a minute.' But then you remember, this is David Baldacci,
the master storyteller, and you keep turning the pages."--The
Florida Times Union
"Perennial bestseller Baldacci unveils an offbeat hero with an
unusual skill set and tragic past who takes on the evil mastermind
behind a devastating school shooting..[Decker] proves a quirky,
original antihero with a definite method to his madness...Readers
will want to see Decker back on the printed page again and
again."--Kirkus Reviews on Memory Man
"Staying true to its title, Redemption is a riveting thriller, as
relentlessly suspenseful as it is blisteringly original. Baldacci

stronger."--Providence Journal
