The Rook by Steven JamesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
THE ROOK, book two in the Parker Bowers Thriller, did not disappoint.
Picking up pretty much where THE PAWN left off, FBI Agent Patrick Bowers finds himself in San Diego investigating a string of arsons. Not wanting to strain his relationship with his step-daughter, by being gone on another case, Patrick decides to bring Tessa along. When Patrick and Tessa witness the apparent suicide of a homeless man, things begin to escalate and somehow become strangely linked together. Reunited with fellow agents, Ralph and Lien-hua, this case involves everything from the government to the behaviors of sharks.
THE ROOK was a great fast-paced thriller that has so many twists and turns, you feel your head spinning while trying to keep up with Bowers. I loved watching the fragile relationship between Patrick and Tessa develop, amidst Tessa’s rebellion, and the budding relationship between Patrick and Lien-hua most definitely added to the story for me. Of course, I guessed who Shade was and now know who the villain will be going into book three. But that in no way lessons the thrill. It just makes we want to read THE KNIGHT even more.
Great Job, Steven James! Onto book three.
