ISLAND BREEZES
Murder by the book, and you’ll never, ever guess which book! The Knight will reach out and grab you. You won’t want to put it down. Special Agent Patrick Bowers is at it again. Who is John and why is he compelled to commit all these murders? Why is he playing games with Bowers? Steven James truly has mastered the art of suspense.
This book is part of a series, but is a good stand alone read. Still, you need to go out and grab all three of these books. I haven’t read The Pawn and The Rook, but you’d better believe that I intend to. I will not only have the opportunity to read a couple more excellent thrillers, but also get to find out more about what makes Patrick tick.
There is one thing you need to know. It’s probably not a good idea to read this book right before you go to bed. You won’t want to put it down. I’ve had to run over to the mainland this week to work five night shifts on less than the optimal amount of sleep. Secondly, it may leave you on edge a bit too much to even go to sleep. If you want to know why, you don’t really think I’m going to tell you, do you? You have to read it for yourself.
Killer is on the Loose with an Ancient Manuscript as His Guide
New thriller from critically acclaimed novelist takes readers on a shocking rollercoaster ride to stop this violent killer before it’s too late.
Steven James is one of the nation’s most innovative storytellers—with a Master of Arts in Storytelling degree to prove it. For the past decade, he has been crafting compelling and evocative stories that pull readers into the thick of his brilliant, mind-bending plots, and his latest creative endeavor is no different: The Knight, the third installment in his bestselling series of thrillers, is full of the chilling twists and adrenaline-laced action that readers have come to expect from James.
The Knight picks up in The Bowers Files series, starring FBI criminologist Patrick Bowers, who is assigned to tracking the country’s most dangerous killers. But when he is called to his most disturbing crime scene yet, Bowers begins to realize that this criminal mastermind has actually been tracking him.
To get to the bottom of this cold-blooded case, Bowers uses his cutting-edge investigative techniques to decipher the evidence and

discovers that the murderer has been using an ancient manuscript as a blueprint for his crimes. This sends Bowers on a race against time to stop the killer before he takes his next victim in another grisly crime.
But even as he is working to crack the clues of this bloody trail, Bowers finds himself stumped by another matter: An old murder case haunts him, causing him to question himself and wonder which is more important—truth or justice. The answer might set a killer free or change Bowers into a criminal himself.
Keeping readers guessing until the very end, James has earned rave reviews from the likes of Publishers Weekly, which called his thrillers “a wild ride with a shocking conclusion.” The Knight offers readers more of the same, as the satisfying follow-up to his previous bestselling psychological thrillers in The Bowers Files series, The Pawn and The Rook.
