17. (Total Score: 12 points) Given that the complex number $z _ { 1 }$ satisfies $( 1 + i ) z _ { 1 } = - 1 + 5 i$, and $z _ { 2 } = a - 2 - i$, where $i$ is the imaginary unit and $a \in \mathbb{R}$. If $\left| z _ { 1 } - \overline { z _ { 2 } } \right| < \left| z _ { 1 } \right|$, find the range of $a$.
