WHAT IS MORALLY RIGHT OR WRONG?, 6 Feb 2003
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.
