The Patrick Bowers Files Book 1
In this riveting thriller, the first of a planned trilogy, James (Story)
introduces FBI agent Patrick Bowers. His professional specialty is
environmental criminology, which attempts to track lawbreakers by analyzing
the significance of the time and place at which the crime occurred.
When corpses of young women start turning up near Asheville, N.C., Bowers
is called in. The killer's MO is to tie a yellow ribbon in his victims'
hair and leave a chess piece somewhere on the scene. Bowers begins
to suspect that the governor of North Carolina, rumored to be the next
Republican presidential contender, is somehow connected to the murders,
and that a cult with links to Jonestown might also be involved. Making
matters trickier, the special agent supervising Bowers turns out to be
a longtime colleague with whom Bowers has some bad blood. Bowers, a recent
widower with a surly teenage stepdaughter to raise, tries to keep his grief
and parental confusion at bay so that he can focus on the case as the killer
targets more innocent women. Christian faith makes a subtle appearance in
the story and appears to be a theme that will be developed in future
installments. A gripping plot and brisk pacing will win James some fans
eager for his next offering.
