The Pawn




The Pawn by Steven James,  is the first book in the Patrick Bower's Files series.  This writer will keep you guessing.  Just when I thought I knew who the killer is, Mr. James proved me wrong a couple of times.  Dr. Patrick Bower just lost his wife to cancer after a few months of marriage and he is doubting his faith in God.  This book talks about Christian faith in a subtle way.  Dr. Bower is an FBI agent whose specialty is in finding/tracking criminals through environmental criminology.  He studies the time and place where the crime took place and tries to locate where the culprits will be.  He also have a teenage stepdaughter with whom he can't relate and is confuse on how to parent her.

A good thriller which includes a few very detailed and sometimes gory description of murders.  It gives a hint of how God is involve in our lives.  A dose of parenting teenager dilemna and I see a beginning of new love.  We will see if it goes on to the next book The Rook.  Here is a quote from the book " Our choices decide who we are but our loves define who we'll become".
