Ten years ago, Jackson Tres Navarre left San Antonio and the memory of his fathers murder behind. Now hes back, looking for answers, but all he finds is mob-style corruption and local politicians out to ruin his homecoming. When his girlfriend turns up missing, Tres must act fast to rescue her, nail his Dads killer--then save his own hide! From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series Everything in Texas is bigger . . . even murder. Meet Tres Navarre--tequila drinker, Tai Chi master, and unlicensed P.I., with a penchant for Texas-size trouble. Jackson Tres Navarre and his enchilada-eating cat, Robert Johnson, pull into San Antonio and find nothing waiting but trouble. Ten years ago Navarre left town and the memory of his fathers murder behind him. Now hes back, looking for answers. Yet the more Tres digs, trying to put his suspicions to rest, the fresher the decade-old crime looks: Mafia connections, construction site payoffs, and slick politicians games all conspire to ruin his homecoming. Its obvious Tres has stirred up a hornets nest of trouble. He gets attacked, shot at, run over by a big blue Thunderbird--and his old girlfriend, the one he wants back, is missing. Tres has to rescue the woman, nail his fathers murderer, and get the hell out of Dodge before mob-style Texas justice catches up to him. The chances of staying alive looked better for the defenders of the Alamo. Riordan writes so well about the people and topography of his Texas hometown that he quickly marks the territory as his own.--Chicago Tribune Dont miss any of these hotter-than-Texas-chili Tres Navarre novels: BIG RED TEQUILA - THE WIDOWERS TWO-STEP - THE LAST KING OF TEXAS - THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO AUSTIN - SOUTHTOWN - MISSION ROAD - REBEL ISLAND
