The Rook by Steven James

The Rook is the second novel in The Patrick Bowers Files.

Patrick is the main character. He solves crimes. There is usually a Mission Impossible-like plot to the story.

Someone is setting fires to buildings. Someone is kidnapping girls and drowning them in tanks, then posting the videos online.

Someone is trying to create a machine involving sharks.

And somehow they're all interconnected.

Patrick Bowers has to figure out the mastermind of these crimes before something terrible happens. And, of course, his step-daughter is in the thick of it with him. So you know she'll be involved.

I enjoy Steven James' novels. They're full of detail and suspense. You truly never know who the villain will be until he unveils him and then you smack your head because it's so simple.

His books are great for the problem solving/Sherlock Holmes-loving readers.
