About this ebook
A gripping thriller from David Baldacci, The Last Mile is perfect for fans of Lee Child and James Patterson.
Memories can be a real killer.
Melvin Mars awaits his fate on Death Row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged twenty, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL.
When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders.
There are facts about the case which don't add up, and as the investigation deepens, Decker and his team uncover layer upon layer of lies and deception which are rooted at a time in American history which most would rather forget, but some seem keen to remember.
There is someone out there with a lot to hide, and a secret that everyone is looking for. A race against time ensues because, when revealed, that information threatens to tear apart the corridors of power at the very highest level.
The case proves to be life-changing for both Mars and Decker in ways that neither could ever have imagined.
The Last Mile is the second in the Amos Decker series, following Memory Man. Continue the investigative thrillers with The Fix.

It was a great read from start to finish. Lots of twists start with two men on death row in different penitentiaries for the same murder! One knows all the details, and the other doesn't have a clue and says he is being framed. When the details were provided, the authorities found loads of discrepancies and didn't help with a mole within the organisation just to make things a little more interesting.

I'm currently reading this book, my first David Baldacci, and I'm loving it. It's a real page-turner with great twists and turns. Excited to read more from this author š

I needed some easy reading and having read all the reacher books and nick stone novels, I went down a different road. Read the first and then this one within a day. Both great reads and thoroughly enjoyable, looking forward to the next one. If you like reacher, stone or Alex cross, you'll like these!
