Two minutes can be a lifetime.

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 and spoil the party. Break the two minute rule and it's a lifetime in jail. But not everyone plays by the rules...

When Max Holman finally gets out of jail after 10 years, 3 months and 4 days of thinking about his own botched bank raid, freedom quickly doesn't taste too sweet. At the moment of his release, the son that he had barely met 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.

The hit is quickly exposed as a revenge killing, and the victim accused of being a 'bad cop'. Now Max decides that in recompense for all those wasted years, he must clear his son's name and find the brutal killers - whatever the risks to his freedom and his life...

    Max Holman has just been released from prison after serving 10 years for a bank robbery. Max wants to make amends to the son he never took care of but discovered that he was shot the day before Max was due to be released. Max tries to make sense of the killings, especially when his son was a cop. He wanted to believe that his son was a good man, unlike him. The deeper Max probes, the more complex the puzzle seems to get, and Max finally understands that it is more than just a simple shooting.

    There was no jarring impression this book had on me, yet i could not find myself putting it down. I was lost in the book for hours only to be startled at how much time have passed since i picked it up.

    There was no complicated puzzles to solve and maybe that's why the book ain't exceptional to me. But i would not write off Robert Crais at the moment after all this is the first book he wrote which i read.
