The Pawn

Steven James has certainly landed successfully into the under-populated realm of Christian Suspense Fiction.
The Pawn begins with a graphic description of coerced suicide, which leads into a broad spectrum of events that culminate in James' expertly written denouement. Patrick Bowers, an FBI agent specializing in geospatial investigating and "geographic profiling" (who happens to harbor a great dislike for behavioral profilers), is called into Ashville, North Carolina to consult on the case of a deadly area serial killer who leaves the chess piece, the pawn, at the scene of all his crimes. This man calls himself the Illusionist. Patrick's 17 year old daughter, Tessa, is still reeling from her mother's death from cancer only months before, as is Patrick. Their disconnected, frayed relationship is at the center of the magnificent plot of the novel.
With brilliantly interwoven plots and historical information, Steven James has crafted a thriller that is sure to be remembered. The Pawn is a novel that will leave you stunned, hanging on the edge of your seat, enduring the agonizing wait until you can get your hands on the sequel, The Rook. This novel is well worth the time invested! View All Music And Book Reviews By fanforchrist2009 | View fanforchrist2009's Profile
