About this listen

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 ageing 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.

Classic Robert Crais, you think you have worked it out but then it's always something or some one you haven't thought of. Loved it

Excellent as always

I more or less liked the story, but there were moments when the hero behaved in an extremely un-hero like fashion and was plain stupid. I felt that marred it a little. Nevertheless the author’s usual skill in unfolding a detective story was once more strongly evident.

Good but flawed hero

Ever since “the last detective” Robert Crais has written really good crime novels on par with Michael Connelly and the like. And this is no exception

Solid crime story

Plot and characters lacked authenticity. Appreciate this was a departure from his usual format but found it thoroughly unconvincing.

Not for me!
