Why read it?
1 author picked The Pawn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was my first, but not last, novel by Steven James.
The protagonist, Special Agent Patrick Bowers, goes to North Carolina to seek out and capture a serial killer who calls himself the Illusionist. I enjoyed the suspense factor from the very beginning, which kept me continuing from one chapter to the next. I was on the edge from the beginning to the last page and was pleased to know this was the first of several in the Patrick Bowers Files.
From Ward's list on faith, suspense, hope, and terror.
