Two minutes, in and out, that's the rule for robbing banks in this
page-turning action ride around L.A. from bestseller Crais (Hostage).
Break that rule, and you can end up like Marchenko and Parsons, dying
in a violent shoot-out on the streets, the fortune from their string of
heists deeply hidden. Max Holman certainly knows the time limit better
than most. Dubbed the "hero bandit" by the press, he got caught during
a robbery after he stopped to perform CPR on a bank customer who had a
heart attack. About to leave prison on parole, the 48-year-old Max
hopes he can establish contact with the son he never really knew, now a
cop. When Max's son is murdered, suspected of being in a ring of dirty
cops seeking the Marchenko and Parsons loot, Max needs to know the
truth. The only person he figures can help him is Katherine Pollard,
the fed who nabbed him, who's now ex-FBI and a struggling single mom.
The perfect odd couple, they keep this novel personal and real as it
builds to an exciting twist on the bank-robbing rule.
