James, critically acclaimed author of the series the Bowers Files, sends new chills down the spine in his newest suspense thriller, told from various points of view and centering on FBI Special Agent Patrick Bowers's criminology and geospatial tracking of serial killers. When a prominent congressman's daughter is murdered, seemingly unconnected crimes become evidence of a heinous game played by two people who have the same things coursing through their veins as their victims and the cops trying to catch them: love and hate. James packs the narrative with ethical dilemmas and subplots involving abortion and medical research ("It would have saved us all a lot of trouble if your mother had just gone ahead with the abortion"). The novel moves swiftly, with punchy dialogue but gruesome scenes. Readers must be ready to stomach the darkest side of humanity and get into the minds of serial killers to enjoy this master storyteller at the peak of his game.

Steven James Can Do No Wrong

I am a HUGE Steven James fan. When I picked up his first book, THE PAWN, I could not put it down. It was literally one of the best suspense/thriller books I have ever read in my life. Seriously, he knows how to write and grab a reader. This may be due to him having a master's degree in storytelling (something all writers would definitely benefit from) and how he knows the craft of keeping a reader's attention. This book is a huge psychological ride. If you have read the other … more

James Has Once Again Set An Impossibly High Standard

The sinister `game' began with the brutal murder of a prominent Congressman's daughter. Two killers, both desperately wicked, who torment others in a game of conquest and power. They're smart and they know how to leave no evidence, but plenty of misdirection keeping the authorities off balance and unable to discern what clues point to their true intent. The puzzle pieces are many but few fit into place. Are Patrick and his colleagues overlooking the key or is the key what's not there? As the mystery … more

Fasted paced & exciting

"The Bishop" is a fast-paced forensic/detective suspense novel. This is the fourth book in the series. Though you can follow what's going on without reading the others first, you'll probably understand it better if you start with the first novel, "The Pawn." Also, reading this novel spoils the "who-done-it" mystery in several previous novels, so you'll want to read the others first if you plan to at all. The novel had a somewhat … more
