Memory Man by David Baldacci

Sometimes I wished that my memory would never fail me. Amos Decker is a man with perfect memory.

I was drawn by that premise, how does a man with perfect memory track down the killers of his family? The perfect memory an acquired gift, he is a savant born in adulthood.

Turns out it wasn't easy. As we know, memories can have a funny way of tricking us into believing a distorted reality. Amos Decker could not escape this. Whatever we believe to be true is always viewed through our own tinted lense.

Amos was led through a goose chase with lots of red herrings. He did came out in top (relatively) but not unscathed. I could not guess who the real villain is so you're in for a treat if you love mystery and a lone wolf kind of hero.
