Publisher's summary

Remember his name: FBI Agent Amos Decker is back in a thrilling memory man investigation from number one bestseller, David Baldacci.

A town with a secret.

A lone hunter discovers the remains of a woman in North Dakota’s Badlands. She appears to have had a post-mortem performed on her reminiscent of those only seen on TV shows – but this time, there was no slab, morgue or camera in sight.

A victim without a past.

The reason why Irene Cramer’s death merits an FBI investigation becomes rapidly clear when key questions surface about her mysterious past. Little is known about this school teacher, where she came from or her true identity. She clearly had something to hide.

A hero with a unique skill.

FBI investigator, Amos Decker and his colleague, Alex Jamison, are summoned to seek answers in the local community of London, North Dakota, which sits at the very heart of the fracking industry. Enriched with oil money, jealousy and a deep-set rivalry lie beneath a veneer of glitz and opulence.

Decker soon realizes that the nearby ‘eye in the sky’, the Air Force Station, may hold the vital clues and that this town holds secrets so explosive that they could destabilize the entire country . .

Walk the Wire by David Baldacci is the sixth audiobook in the Amos Decker series. Continue the investigative thrillers with Long Shadows.

Once listened, never forgotten.

A mile-a-minute read that proves once again why David Baldacci has readers the world over flocking for more (Jane Harper)

Alternately chilling, poignant, and always heart-poundingly suspenseful (Scott Turow)

David Baldacci is one of the all-time best thriller authors (Lisa Gardner)

another excellent book by David Baldacci

loved this book it had all four of my favourite characters in David Baldacci books it was great to see their interactions

Exhilarating and encapsulating.

The research and thought provoking storyline keeps the reader engaged from the opening credits to the last line.

Evolution of characters are well worth following and this installment will not disappoint the avid follower of the series

The ultimate mystery!

Twist and turn that keep you spellbound! A read that take you on a journey you will never forget!

Wow

I actually just want to write that. However I need to write at least 15 words. Let me think.... Actually already more than 15 words:
I don’t know ho David Baldacci will top this in the future, but I will definitely waiting. Impatiently. Amos and Alex and the other two appearances seems like Christmas comes early for me !

Never a dud with David

I love David Baldacci. His books are always fresh - even though most of the characters are now well known to the legion of fans. In this latest book, 2 of his main characters (and their offsiders) meet up to help each other get to the end of their respective cases. I didn't know who the villain was until the last few pages so I enjoyed this book right to the end.
Keep it up, DB.

Such a disappointing read that i gave up.

I am afraid that this story is so poorly written, with extraordinarily banal dialogue that i could not finish listening and returned it to Audible. I can only imagine that the performers rolled their eyes as the had to speak the dialogue. When there are so many great writers in the Audible catalogue, i don’t want to waste time on this book.

Predictable

Stale. Rote Amos Decker book. A lot of an idolized America that nobody recognizes. Felt sorry for the narrators. All the Amos Decker books has been written and this is just a mashup of all that came before. I hate it when I waste my money like this.
