The Bishop
August 7th, 2010. Filed under: This & That. 
The game is on.
FBI Special Agent Patrick Bowers’s cutting-edge skills are about to be pushed to the limit when a young woman is found brutally murdered in Washington DC. Her killers continue a spree of perfect crimes in the Northeast, but with nothing to link them to each other, Agent Bowers faces his most difficult case yet–even as his personal life begins to crumble around him.
The Bishop is a gripping, adrenaline-laced story for readers who are tired of timid thrillers. Strap on your seat belt and get ready for a wild ride.

I just can’t get enough of the “The Bowers Files.” Patrick and his stepdaughter, Raven, really are a good team.
I like the fact that only about a month elapsed between The Knight and The Bishop. Steven James keeps things going as if this was a journal. Nothing gets lost, and a person does not have to let imagination run wild to figure out what happened for a couple years.
Mr. James did an excellent job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. A few times I thought I had figured out one or the other of the bad guys. I was pretty much off target every time.
There’s an undercurrent of several subplots. One is the ongoing romance Patrick is trying to figure out and the other is the entry of Raven’s biological father into her life.
Which of the two ladies will Patrick choose? Will Raven’s father be able to gain custody of her?
You just won’t guess the endings of any of the plots in this book. Don’t try. Just go out, buy a copy and start reading. You’re certainly not going to want to waste time going to work, to sleep or any other of the mundane necessities of life if it means having to put down this book.
I hope this series doesn’t end when all the chess pieces are used up. If you don’t know what I mean, check out the titles of all four books in this series.
