Review of Knight's Tour

[Following is a volunteer review of "Knight's Tour" by Earl James.]
"Knight's Tour" by Earl James is a book that's been making waves.
First of all, I'm giving this bad boy a solid 5 out of 5 stars. It's got that mix of intrigue and suspense that keeps the pages turning faster than a con artist's sleight of hand.
So, what's the deal with "Knight's Tour"? It's the second installment in the Morrow's Con series. We've got Morrow, a con artist with more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a kids' party. He's the kind of guy who finds himself sandwiched between two foes and somehow manages to play them both for a payday that's nothing to scoff at.
The plot? It thickens faster than a pot of stew. Morrow's latest gig involves a public company in the oil business, and he's got to navigate through a minefield of who's who to pull off a con that's as risky as it is rewarding. The stakes are sky-high. One wrong move, and it's game over for our man, Morrow.
Now, let's talk about characters. There's this young woman who pops up and becomes the key to the whole shebang. She's as enigmatic as they come, and Morrow's got to figure out if she's a door to success or a one-way ticket to disaster. It's a classic case of "nothing is what it seems," and Earl James plays this tune like a pro.
I couldn't find anything to dislike about the book, and the editing was professional, as I could hardly find any errors in it.
In the grand scheme of things, "Knight's Tour" is a solid piece of work. It's got the thrills, the chills, and a con game that's so slick, you'll be checking your pockets after you put the book down. So, if you're in the mood for a tale that's all about the art of the con with a side of psychological cat-and-mouse, give this one a whirl. Just remember, in the world of cons, the first time you fail might just be your last.
