I liked this story. It was hard to get pass all the language when it first started; but the storyline was good.
This is VERY EXCITING to listen to or read. Well worth the 2 credits, I'd even listen to it again. Enjoy Carol
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

This review is for the 5-cd abridged audio version of the novel.
I've listened to other Crais novels and have enjoyed them. I gave this one 60 minutes of my life and then pulled it out of the cd player.
I felt nothing for the main character. I couldn't tell if there was ever going to be an actual story. The first hour just struck me as a lot of 'Boo-hoo, I'm a loser and I deserve it'.
This might be a decent story, but if after one hour of an ABRIDGED version I can't FIND the story, I'm outta there.
