THE TARGET is an Agent Dallas thriller. Agent Dallas
is an
FBI agent that specializes in undercover work. She is
contacted by Agent Rivers to look into the death of a
former FBI agent and friend of Rivers. There have been a
series of deaths and corporate sabotage related to medical
device companies and the dead agent was looking into it
before his death. Agent Dallas goes undercover working for
one of the medical device companies in question and must
discover evidence before more people become sick and die.
THE TARGET is pushed as an Agent Dallas thriller about an
undercover FBI agent and how she works hard to discover the
truth. The problem is the story actually focuses on the
life of Agent Rivers, her contact more than it does Agent
Dallas. The most likeable and empathetic character is the
saboteur who should be contemptible. I understand that the
author is trying to bring an understanding to the lifestyle
of Agent Rivers and her trials and tribulations, but then
L.J. Seller should make her the lead character. Instead she
makes Agent Dallas an FBI agent that has meaningless sex
with men on a regular basis and is in regular therapy the
main character.
While the concept of the plot drew me to the book there were
too
many main characters to make the book work. It was
distracting to the storyline. My other issue with THE
TARGET is that while I wanted to
like the characters the only one I felt drawn to was the
one who was suppose to be the bad guy. L.J. Sellers uses
THE TARGET to push a subject that is important to her and
while that is good it makes the story and the concept fall
short of what I was expecting.
Agent Jamie Dallas loves undercover assignments that get her out of the Phoenix Bureau. But her new case is daunting—an FBI agent is mysteriously dead, and a medical device company is targeting competitors with dangerous acts of sabotage. Dallas infiltrates TecLife, spies on her new bosses, and tries to steal a sample of their mutant bacteria. But soon her life is in danger when she’s caught in a battle between companies, each hoping to kill the competition while launching a billion-dollar blockbuster. Meanwhile, a famous actor is found beaten and murdered in an abandoned cannery, and a young detective lands the case of a lifetime. Determined to bring justice to his favorite star, Detective Cortez follows a trail of evidence that leads to the medical-product war—but he has no idea how deadly it is. Can Dallas survive long enough to stop a researcher who’s gone over the edge and save millions of consumers from getting caught in the crossfire?
