I was lucky to link up with Christopher on bookblogs.ning recently and eagerly signed up to review his first work of fiction! And I'm very happy I did!
Synopsis:
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 jailed," 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.
Primary Victim is a novel that tests both the psychological breaking point of an individual and the strength of the legal system governing society.
I initially was reading 3 books BESIDES this book, so I had a harder time giving it my full attention, but once it got me hooked, I was totally there! Christopher weaves the plot back and forth with a magician slight of hand touch. After you finish reading the book, you automatically start thinking about a clue that was there that you may have missed - always the sign of a great book! The characters were totally believable and the ending was perfect in typical criminal justice fashion -Nope, not gonna tell you what happens, but I will say, I can easily see a sequel forth coming, eh Christopher????/ LOL
If you want something DIFFERENT, but still intellectually intriquing, check out Christopher's book! You can get it on Amazon ONLY!. Be sure to check out the webpage for Primary Victim and you can read the prologue! It will get you wanting to buy the book, I promise!
