The Pawn by Steven James

 (The Patrick Bowers Files #1)

427 pages / 13 hrs, 6 mins

"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?" --from the publisher

It was good, but somewhat disjointed for me. There were a lot of characters, and the relationship between Bowers and his stepdaughter was not well developed, in my opinion. I'll definitely try the next in the series, though. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
