    Mediocre but Still Good
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019*

So I really wanted  to like this book a lot. I love  Robert Crais' books with Elvis Cole and Joe  Pike, and I really liked Hostage. I didn't dislike this book, but I was really bothered by the way Max Holman kept violating the terms of his parole and  just plain doing stupid stuff. I'm, at heart, a rule follower, and while I know Cole and Pike often break rules, they do so from a position of strength and knowing what the heck they are doing. Max was operating off of emotion and just plain doing stupid stuff. And the former FBI agent, while knowing what she was doing, was not breaking rules from a position of strength.However, all that aside, the book did hold my interest, and I definitely wanted to know what happened to Max's son. It was, in general, a good read, with Crais' usual intricate plot, although he is overusing this particular plot twist a little too much. But a mediocre book by Robert Crais is better than the good books by many writers on most days!

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016*

This freestanding novel came out in about the middle of the Elvis Cole, Joe Pike series. It is well worth a read while waiting for Robert Crais next book. The characters travel in the same milieu as Elvis and Pike's circle of known associates and I would not be surprised if upon re-reading  Crais had indeed used them as minor characters in the series. The story may seem to start a little slow because the reader is not jumping right in with a set of well know characters but soon enough you develop empathy for them and really want everything to workout for them. There was what I thought was kind of a plot hole toward the end that maybe developed because Robert Crais himself was at a loss about just how hopeful he intended the ending to be. Still if you like his books you need to read this one for sure.

    Worth reading, despite my 3-star rating.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015*

First, the characters are better than one-dimensional, illustrating the problem of being asked to use multiple choice regarding art. I have read many Crais novels and this is not one of the best; however, it kept me interested until the last page. It is a good read, not requiring much of the reader.  Little of the delightful prose of other novels. Wish the title had been The Fifth Man, despite the fact that a novel with that title was published in 2002 (Google). Since titles cannot be copyrighted, I wish it had been otherwise, since once you know what the two minute rule is, well, nothing to think about. Especially interesting was the novel-long attempt of the main character, a long-time non-violent criminal just released from a 10-year prison sentence, to not only change into someone who abides by the law but also to deal with the constant regret of a man who neglected his son and his son's mother. Thus the major conflict is his attempt to be law abiding when his policeman son has been murdered and accused of malfeasance. The plot progresses as he attempts to find the truth about his son in conflict with the some elements of the LAPD and the FBI which are corrupt. Was his son corrupt, also, or not? Thus his guilt is increased as he fears his own unlawful history had created a dishonest son.  Enter the female FBI agent who arrested him after his last bank robbery but also asked for his ameliorated sentence because he allowed himself to be caught in order to save a life. She is retired but itching for action, especially in response to a good cause. And a good man.customers
