Five Minutes Alone by Paul Cleave is book #4 in a series. It's about a detective named Theodore Tate. He is recently back on the police force in Austrailia after being in a coma. We learn that his wife and daughter were in an accident a year ago. His daughter died and wife keeps forgetting the present and reverting back to the day the daughter died. There is a whole lot of background that is probably given in the previous books.
In this story, Tate's previous partner, Schroder, is no longer on the police force. He has a bullet in his brain and decides that the last thing he wants to do is give victims five minutes alone with the criminals who destroyed their lives. What starts out as a "good idea" takes a turn and innocent people start to die.
We know who the "Five Minute Man" is from the start, but the story is still interesting. I found the story a little hard to read. Kind of confusing, but maybe because I missed some stuff in the other books. It also described wounds in a lot of detail which was hard to read at times. It was an interesting story, but not sure I liked it enough to read the other books in the series.
Up Next: The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
