The Pawn by Steven James
When he's called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, Patrick Bowers finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Cunning and lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he's about to strike again.
It will take all of Bowers's instincts and training to stop this man who calls himself the Illusionist. Just when the pieces start to come together, Bowers realizes they're not quite adding up. Can he uncover the Illusionist's strategy and save the next victim? Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, "The Pawn" will hold you in its iron grip until the very last page.
