A criminal mastermind's chilling terrorist plot forces FBI Special Agent Patrick Bowers to the brink in the latest thriller from bestselling novelist Steven James.

When a senator's son takes his own life and posts the video live online, Agent Bowers is drawn into a complex web of lies that begins to threaten the people he loves the most. As he races to unravel the mystery behind the suicide and a centuries-old code that might help shed light on the case, he finds a dark pathway laced with twists and deadly secrets that touch a little too close to home.

A fast-paced, intelligent thriller, Every Wicked Man will have readers racing through the pages to its thundering conclusion.

Praise for the Bowers Files thrillers
"A smart, taut, intense novel of suspense that reads like a cross between Michael Connelly and Thomas Harris...a blisteringly fast and riveting read."--Mark Greaney, New York Times bestselling author of Gunmetal Gray

"With a multi-dimensional quality, Steven James writes with a confident, assured ease."--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The 14th Colony

"High tension all the way...  Fast, sharp, and believable. Put it at the top of your list."--John Lutz, Edgar Award-winning author of Single White Female and Slaughter

"Full of secrets and mind games that are entertaining and thought-provoking."--RT Book Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars A top notch suspense novel
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018

Steven James is my go-to writer when it comes to suspense novels. He does a fantastic job at creating stories that grip me from page one. With his final addition to the Patrick Bowers' series, Every Wicked Man, this novel is no exception. From the first chapter, it rang true to James' style. I was caught up in the tension and couldn't wait to see Bowers work his magic as he chased the bad guys and saught justice for the wicked. I learned more about Christi and Tessa as they rounded out Bowers' character. I watched him interact with both of them and saw how their relationship developed up to the moment of Christi's death, which if you have read any of his previous novels, you knew was coming. I really enjoyed this final book and am sad to see the series end, but now I can't wait to see what else James decides to write. I will be on a lookout for the next thing by James since he is my favorite suspense writer.

Silva’s books grab you early on and never let you go until you race to the end. Compelling stories of suspense with characters that are real and believable. Doesn’t waste words on gore and graphic details - just expertly tells his story. And really, in this book there are two stories. One is about the “bad guys” his lead character is trying to stop, and the other about the reality and power of faith and hope in a strong and loving God.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any fan of Patrick Bowers

Great conclusion to the Bowers Files! Wraps up the entire story arc, and I want to go back and read The Pawn again (as this book leads right back into the original Chess Series).

I really liked how the author allowed Christy to wrestle with the questions of life and death after her diagnosis and did not treat things tritely.

There is plenty of action and intrigue, questions and answers, philosophy and convictions, life and deaths. If you're a fan of the previous Patrick Bowers books, this is a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Please quit writing prequels

Really enjoyed this story after getting into it. However knowing what comes of several of the characters in later novels it greatly diminishes the pleasure in reading a prequel. There isn’t any reason that taking after the likes of J.A. Jance who writes novel after novel about Joanna Brady or J.P. Beaumont or Ali Reynolds that you can’t do the same. Or what about Jan Karon who writes about Father Tim or Catherine Coulter who writes about Sherlock and her FBI husband We don’t want an end to Bowiers but please no more prequels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the Patrick Bowers series!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

More details in the life of FBI agent, Patrick Bowers. This book is just as suspenseful as the other Patrick Bowers books. What I liked particularly about this book is that there is some fleshing out of the spiritual dimension of the characters. There is more than just action, action, and more action. And of course, as with all Steven James books, no salacious sex and no foul language. Other authors could learn a thing or two from James on those topics. The writing is good enough that those elements just aren’t needed. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another exceptional James thriller!

Another great novel by my all-time favorite author, Steven James! James' character development is excellent, plot line believable, details correct. The Patrick Bowers series is definitely connected from book to book, but they could be read as stand alone without a problem. (Another sign of a gifted author!) Only problem I have is James doesn't "crank out" 5 or 6/year! (But the quality trumps quantity, I suppose.)

I’m so bummed that this is the last Patrick bowers book. It had a great ending and pulled me in and wouldn’t let go like all the Patrick bowers books. I hope the story continues. Maybe a Tessa spin-off or something. I’m not ready to be done with the world of Patrick Bowers. Thanks Steven James for writing such a good series and introducing us to great characters.

If you thought it couldn't get any better, Every Wicked Man will convince you that it's not the case with Steven James. This book will keep you awake at night, sit on the edge of your chair, thinking you know who is who only to find out that the plot has changed again.

Get it, start it...and don't tell me i haven't warned you..you will struggle to put the book aside
