The Knight Paperback

Steven James delivers the very definition of suspense in his latest book 'The Knight'. Steven does an excellent job of creating a story that locks you in and won?t let go. FBI Agent Patrick Bowers finds himself locked in a battle of wits with a killer that is as deceptive as he is dangerous. But tracking the killer is not the only thing that Patrick Bowers has to deal with. He is still getting over the death of his wife and having to raise his step child on his own. Steven takes the reader through not only the suspense/thrill side of Patrick Bowers, but also the emotional side. It is not easy to have such wonderful character development with a great story, but Steven James brings both of those elements in ?The Knight?.

The Knight is the third in a series of books by Steven James featuring Patrick Bowers. Very much in the style of Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell and others, James’s work is a fast paced, often graphic, thriller that leaves you breathless.

Patrick Bowers, the hero, is a FBI agent who uses geospatial intelligence. In the UK it is called geographical profiling, a specialised form of forensic psychology pioneered by David Canter. Knowledge of this form of psychology isn’t needed as James uses it to help the story along rather than allowing it to bog things down. As with all of these thrillers, I wonder how realistic they are – would an operative with the history Bowers and his fictional colleagues have of being targets and nearly getting themselves killed be allowed to operate on their own? Similar arguments can be said about all crime fiction but sometimes the book left me wondering whether all the scenes had to be put in, or, that the situation didn’t read as a natural occurrence. Even so, if you like Coben, Cornwell, McDermid, Kava and others then The Knight makes a suitable Christian alternative.
