As of 2021, only 62 people in the world have been diagnosed with the condition. FROM AMAZON: Amos Decker's life changed forever--twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to play in the NFL. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer's identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can. But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Review: While this is a cleverly crafted story, there are some very predictable clues that 'Decker' doesn't pick up on. Otherwise, a really good read and worth going after the rest of the series.

"Amos 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. Un violento choque de su cabeza contra la de un rival lo expulsó de los terrenos de juego para siempre y le provocó un extraño efecto secundario: nunca puede ol vidar nada. Dos décadas más tarde, su vida volvió a sufrir un dramático cambio. Decker, convertido en inspector de policía, regresó una noche a su casa y entró en una pesadilla: su mujer, su hija y su cuñado habían sido asesinados. In capaz 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 que sacude a la ciudad de Burlington impulsa a Decker a reincorporarse Al cuerpo policial y le ofrece una oportunidad de descubrir lo que realmente le ocurrió a su familia."--Casadellibro.
