The isolated setting adds to the atmosphere, and the premise itself is bold and intense. Mark Jenkins—you seem like such a nice guy, but this book definitely goes to some dark places. If you enjoy thrillers that push boundaries, this is one to check out.

The Pawn is a gripping police procedural with a dark psychological edge. FBI Special Agent Clara Strong is a fierce, flawed heroine with a haunting past that adds real weight to the story.
