‘Excellent’ THE TIMES
‘Crais’s thrilling narrative oozes suspense. There are twists to keep you guessing’ OBSERVER
Two minutes can be a lifetime. But break the two minute rule and it’s a lifetime in jail. Ask anyone on the wrong side of the law about the two minute rule and they’ll tell you that’s as long as you can hope for at a robbery before the cops show up.
But not everyone plays by the rules. When an aging ex-con finally gets out of jail, freedom doesn’t taste too sweet. His son is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. It seems like a random crime, but when the victim is a cop – especially a cop with a con for a father – the motives are never simple.
When the hit is exposed as a revenge killing, and the question of police corruption is raised, it becomes a father’s last duty to clear his son’s name and catch the killer.
