Michael Bloomington is a serial killer whose victims don't die. They linger in prison, struggling to understand how they came to sit in jail convicted of a murder they did not commit. A brilliant man trained in the intricacies of the law, Michael's goal is to get caught. Only then can his defense, based upon the maxim on which our legal system rests, "better ninety-nine guilty men go free than one innocent man be hanged," be tested. Brice McCallahan is Michael's latest victim. With his memory clouded by a night of heavy drinking and overwhelming evidence pointing to his involvement in the murder of a young woman, even Brice begins to doubt his innocence. Ted Jamey is the one homicide detective not entirely convinced Brice is a killer. However, as Ted draws closer to the true killer, he also draws closer to unleashing the killer's grand design. Intended Target is a novel that tests both the psychological breaking point of an individual and the strength of the legal system governing society.

Intended Target Mr Cyrus A Holt Books Reviews
I really enjoyed reading novel. It is an easy read with inventive story line. I can't wait to see what is instore for the next novel
Cyrus Holt's debut novel had me hooked from page one -- the premise is a great one -- a serial killer who kills, and then frames someone else for each murder. His use of different points of view was great, the plot and the dialogue were fantastic, and the ending was out of left field and one of the best parts of the book! I am looking forward to Mr. Holt's sophomore effort!
This book is a steal at 2.99 -- it is books like this, by little-known or first-time authors, that keep my love affair with the going strong!
***This is my review for PRIMARY VICTIM, the old title of the book.***
I'll admit up front that I have a weakness for crime fiction--but this book was amazing. Words escape my mind as I try to explain how blown away I am by this book. I gasped and grinned and nearly cried and laughed at the surprises thrown at me through this stunning debut novel.
The psychological aspect of PRIMARY VICTIM was mainly found in the "Victim," Brice. I won't say what happens to him, but it amazed me as his mind began to twist and change through the course of the story.
The plot PRIMARY VICTIM was full of twists and turns that I never expected, and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. I couldn't put it down! The viewpoint alternates between the criminal, the police officer, and the (living) victim, and switches back and forth at the most inconvenient places, forcing you to read on.
Characters All the characters in PRIMARY VICTIM were strongly developed with real personalities. I hate books where people are just to perfect to be real (what I call "happyland syndrome")--this book had the good guys and the bad guys, the the ones you hoped it all worked out for them, and the ones that you wished would be the next to die because they were such jerks (cough Nick cough).
By the end of the book I wasn't sure what Michael (the criminal) was going to pull out of his hat, and was, from the very first page to the very last, impressed with Michael's genius and creativity. At times I actually found myself almost cheering for him, but had to remind myself that he was the bad guy. It was almost hard to see him as the bad guy at times, because of his "work--" Michael considered himself a God in a world that needed one and didn't have one, victimizing the people that he thought needed to be victimized.
Brice and Sarah were such a perfect yet sad couple, and for the sake of keeping the review spoiler-free, I won't say anything... but I thought I was going to cry at one point.
Writing The writing was the weakest point of this book. The prose itself seemed written in an unfamiliar style, minimizing comas in the sentences, and it made for a harder read. I caught myself occasionally re-reading sentences and paragraphs to understand what had happened. Aside from the prose, the vocabulary was broad enough and the pacing was good.
Content There was brief mention of sex between husband and wife (example "they made love," no other details, and the fact that they're married made it that much better), and an occasional foul word from an angry officer, but other than that this book was refreshingly clean. I applaud Christopher for writing a crime thriller with low content--especially compared to some of the other crime thrillers out there. Maybe he can start a revolution. It's true, people--you can have a good book without excessive sex and language!
Recommendation Ages 14+ to lovers of Crime fiction, thrillers, and psychological thrillers.
Too wordy. Boring. Glorifying evil. Skipped many pages because I could tell what was coming. A waste of money and time.
I read a lot of legal thrillers and this one had a completely different plot than any other I have read.
pure calculating evil....the perpetrator. hard to keep my emotions at bay, and remember this was fiction. I was engrossed. room for a sequel.
This is the first book I have ever read where I wanted to read the last chapter while only half way through the novel. It held
My attention throughout. An interesting and multifaceted read
