Book Spotlight Fridays! The Rook by Steven James

 

Book Beginnings and Friday56


Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.

Loving this series:


The Rook




About the book:

An arsonist has struck a top-secret research facility at a key US naval base. But it's not just a random terrorist attack. These people were after something specific. When Special Agent Patrick Bowers is called in to investigate, he is drawn into a deadly web of intrigue and deception. With his own criminology research being turned against him and one of the world's most deadly devices missing, Bowers is caught up in a race against time to stop an international assassin before it's too late.

Full of fast-paced action and mind-bending plot twists, The Rook is an adrenaline-laced page-turner that will keep readers up all night. Book 2 in the Bowers Files, this riveting look into the criminal mind is the perfect follow-up to James's well-reviewed The Pawn.

Book Beginnings

The Chevy Tahoe sloshed to a stop in the soggy patch of unseasonably thick snow, and Creighton Melice stepped into the twilight.

Friday 56

Good news.  The video of Cassandra isn't on the internet.

My thoughts so far

This next installment in the Patrick Bowers series is just as thrilling and creepy as I've come to expect and love.

      It is a good thriller - the audio is well narrated.

    Interesting character name. Do authors sit around and try to figure out how to spell names differently? My Friday quotes from This Tender Land
