Average Rating: Rating: - strong thriller Though the proof is overwhelming that repeat sex offender Eugene Tupp raped the fifteen year old teen, the New York Judge rules key evidence was illegally obtained by the police and not admissible. Apparently, the search warrant was for Tupp's house and not his garage. Former prosecutor and highly regarded attorney Jack Ruskin is irate that while his daughter lies semi-comatose this animal will receive a slight slap of the wrist instead of locking him away forever. Jack needs vengeance and he finds it by killing an Upstate sex offender. Tasting blood and not feeling fully satiated, Jack is obsesses with wanting to exterminate the vermin. He uses the net to find his prey, but soon the FBI realizes that a serial killer is murdering sex offenders. Special Agent Amanda Lee begins searching for a culprit, who she sympathizes with as she has a child and her partner was recently killed by a child abuser. Though the premise has been used before (Bronson), THE FIFTH ANGEL starts off as if the reader will receive an action packed yet philosophical look at defining justice. However, once Jack turns into a typical serial killer, the story line intensifies the action at the expense of moving the audience into the gray definitions of justice. Tim Green provides a strong thriller that many fans will say could have been brilliant. Harriet Klausner Rating: - FAST-PACED THRILLER TO THE END this book moves so fast i read it in one sitting. this was the first of green's thrillers i've read. i'm a fan of grisham and patterson and the usual suspects, but put tim green to the top of that list. when it was over i felt like i'd lived this book set in upstate new york. the scenes in the mountains are so detailed and great. and as a parent of two kids, the premise really hit home with me. how could you not understand jack's rage? Rating: - WHAT IS MORALLY RIGHT OR WRONG? With New York Times bestseller "The Dark Side Of The Game" and a six pack of thrillers to his credit, author cum pro footballer Tim Green has shown that he well knows his way around crafting an exciting tale. According to Green it's his hope that readers will temporarily suspend their belief that all killing is wrong as they read "The Fifth Angel." "What if murder was the right thing to do?" he asks. "Or at least, what if it wasn't wrong?" A widely admired, successful New York attorney, Jack Ruskin, is shaken to the core when his 15-year-old daughter is the victim of a brutal sexual assault perpetrated by a sick psychopath. Ruskin is further devastated when, due to a minor legal maneuver, her assailant receives minimum punishment. His daughter will never fully recover from the assault, and her attacker is a repeat sexual offender. Although Ruskin respects the law and has fought to uphold it this vicious crime so enrages him that he becomes an avenger. He systematically pursues and kills sex offenders while he is supposedly away for company business. There is a love interest for him - Beth, who works for his daughter's hospital. Yet this does not deter him from his self-assigned killing spree. The FBI enters the picture when the number of deaths increases and a pattern emerges. Amanda Lee is dispatched to find Ruskin. Author Green, a practicing attorney himself, brings an insider's knowledge of the justice system to this tale of right and wrong. - Gail Cooke
