  Every Deadly Kiss by Seven James Overview This book is in a prequel series to Steven James’ fantastic Bowers file series. This might be my favorite of his spin offs from his main series. This series felt complete on its own, while still adding depth to his other work. The book explores Agent Patrick Bower's growth as an agent as he develops ideas on criminal intent and hunts down a bioweapon.  What We Can Learn I love how Steven James plays with big topics throughout his stories.
