Awesome Start to a new Series Posted October 28, 2008 By bluenichols,
This is a very well written book and the characters are developed very well bringing a lot of insight to their thoughts. The story is a bout Patrick Bowers a FBI agent who is called in to help search for a serial killer. He is recently widowed and left with a 17 yr old step daughter who he doesnt really spend much time with. Bowers has a lot of things going on in his life besides trying to find a serial killer who leaves a chess piece at each crime scene. Bowers and the other agents seem to have problems figuring out who the killer is and he seems to be many steps ahead of them and have things planned out far in advance. I love the way that James works the historical details into the book and relates them to this story. Also brings to light the struggles of the teenage daughter and what she is dealing with(im not sure ive ever seen it really brought up before). I cant wait for the next book Rook.
