FBI agent Patrick Bowers has been called to Asheville, North Carolina, to help in the investigation of a serial killer who targets young women and leaves a chess piece behind, suspecting that the murderer has ties to the Jonestown cult and possibly to the current state governor.

Special Agent Patrick Bowers had only met one man who made him truly afraid until now. When he’s called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, he finds himself in a deadly game. Cunning and lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he’s about to strike again.

It will take all Bowers’s instincts and training to stop this man who calls himself the Illusionist. And just when the pieces start to come together, Bowers realizes they’re not quite adding up. Can he unravel the pattern and save the next victim? Or will the Illusionist win the game by taking one of his opponent’s pieces

Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold suspense lovers in its iron grip until the very last page
