  <default_description>Special Agent Patrick Bowers had only met one man who made him truly afraid. Until now. When he&amp;#8217;s called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, he finds himself in a deadly game. Cunning and lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he&amp;#8217;s about to strike again. It will take all of Bowers&amp;#8217;s instincts and training to stop this man who calls himself the Illusionist. And just when the pieces start to come together, Bowers realizes they&amp;#8217;re not quite adding up. Can he unravel the pattern and save the next victim? Or will the Illusionist win the game by taking one of his opponent&amp;#8217;s pieces? Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold suspense lovers in its iron grip until the very last page.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the books that I saw in the bookstore and bought because it caught my eye. This is the first book of a trilogy.<br/><br/>The book was pretty good.
