After a rough time, a good friend dying and a promise made, a nasty boss, and troublesome times with his petulant teenage stepdaughter, Agent Patrick Bowers finally breathes a sigh of relief as things seem to settle down. Staying at a friend's place in the country, Patrick is set to teaching his leading edge geospatial investigative techniques at the FBI Academy at Quantico and enjoy Tessa, now more secure in being his stepdaughter, being more agreeable when not one, but two, former love interests end up in Washington with him. Could fate get kinder than this?

But, "Game On!" Two serial killers who met as avatars on the Internet find a great way to spark up their love life by killing people and then setting up others to take the rap. When their killing spree hits Washington and a congressman's daughter is found murdered in ghastly circumstances at a prestigious primate research centre, Bowers and other top gun crime specialists are pulled unto the case.

Meanwhile, with her need to find out about more about her biological long-lost father, Tessa goes online in private emails with him in direct defiance of Bower's caution to take it slow. When she secretly sets to meet him, will he prove to be friend or foe?

Bestselling author, Steven James, has brilliantly created an awesome and powerful story that is almost too gruesome to read and too thrilling to put down. While THE BISHOP is a terrific read as a stand-alone book, it is an awesome and powerful fourth and penultimate book in the critically acclaimed "Bower Files" series. James has quite a different take on crime thrillers and has a wonderful ability to deliver white knuckled suspense, along with thought provoking discussions on Christianity and good and evil forces into the plot.

James has created an amazing FBI hero who pits his unique investigative techniques against the usual motive and opportunity police types as well as dealing with those who have turned crime into a personal vendetta against him and those he loves. James skillfully balances out the intense analytical mind of Bowers with his good humour and laissez faire attitude to the women in his life. Who does he love - - Lien-hua or Cheyenne? With more turns than a highly charged DNA molecule, this is one thriller of a ride that you don't want to miss! Now, I can't wait the read the final book, The Queen!
