Publisher's Description

Special Agent Patrick Bowers never met a killer he couldn't catch. Until now. Called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, Bowers finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. 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 the man who calls himself the Illusionist. Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold you in its iron grip until the very last page.

“In his brilliant debut novel, Steven James gives us a captivating look at the fine line between good and evil in the human heart. The Pawn is not to be missed.”

Ann Tatlock

“I consider The Pawn the best-written thriller I’ve read from a Christian publisher.”

Cecil Murphey

“Steven James combines twenty-first-century, high-tech law enforcement techniques with eighteenth-century Sherlockian deduction to craft an exciting, suspense-filled story. Dr. Patrick Bowers uses geography and his wits in the pursuit of a calculating, ruthless predator. The Pawn covers a wide range of human experience as its characters fight both internal and external battles for their survival.”

Dr. Kim Rossmo
