Description: Special Agent Patrick Bowers had only met one man who made him truly afraid. Until now. When he's called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, he finds himself in a deadly game. Cunning and lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he's about to strike again. It will take all of Bowers's instincts and training to stop this man who calls himself the Illusionist. And just when the pieces start to come together, Bowers realizes they're not quite adding up. Can he unravel the pattern and save the next victim? Or will the Illusionist win the game by taking one of his opponent's pieces? Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold suspense lovers in its iron grip until the very last page.

The first one is every bit as creepy as it should be. As much as Patrick Bowers comes across as a sad-sack and a proprietary thinker, he becomes endearing and likeable. The most interesting character is his daughter! Reads like a movie. The plot is involved and twisted and spills into the sequels.

likeable. The most interesting character is his daughter! Reads like a movie. The plot is involved and twisted and spills into the sequels. James's sense or romance could be tightened up a bit, but he manages to make that fun too. Bower's big "theory" of how to catch serial killers and his disdain of profilers...well, most ove 'em... really makes a person think about how we look for criminals and why we presume one is more guilty than others. THis is a really good read that tells a story on multiple levels. It's one of my favorites. I recommend it for anyone. There are some warnings. 1) THere are several places where we see things through the villains eyes. He's a bad-bad-bad villain and he does very bad things to very sweet, gentle and beautiful people (primarily late teenage to 20 something young ladies). There is more than one villain her and they will all terrify and disgust you. If your squeamish, you may wish to read this with a teddy bear in hand. If this kind of violence bothers you, don't read it, it's all through this thing. It's not fir children. The violence is well managed and dark and I liked it because I felt it had a role in the story that was larger than just making the bad guy look bad. Some people may not be as padded from reality as I am. 2) There is no two. It's a great thriller, a great human story and a great read. enjoy. 24 likes
