Synopsis

Edgar Award winner Rick Riordan captures San Antonio at its grittiest with his mysteries featuring Jackson "Tres" Navarre--unlicensed P.I., Tai Chi master, and imbiber of Big Red cream soda laced with tequila. It's been a decade since his father was murdered, and Tres left town. But he's got an itch that can only be scratched by looking for answers. Returning to San Antonio with his enchilada-eating cat, he uncovers a conspiracy involving the Mafia and dirty politicians. It isn't long before Tres stirs up more trouble than he can handle and finds himself the target of ill-willed bullets. Riordan paints a memorable portrait of Texas in its many unique hues, while narrator Tom Stechschulte captures the characteristic flavor of the Lone Star state.

About Rick Riordan

Richard Russell "Rick" Riordan, is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and former teacher of English and History. His career started with teaching in various schools in Texas, after earning h I s double major from the University of Texas at Austin. His favorite subject that he taught in almost every class was Mythology, since he enjoyed it and most students really enjoyed it. That interest gave way to his very popular series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Kane Chronicles, a trilogy focusing on Egyptian mythology. In 2014 came The Heroes of Olympus, which was the sequel to the Percy Jackson series about Roman and Greek mythology.

Twentieth Century Fox purchased the rights to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and released a full feature film in February of 2010. Riordan has written many successful book series for children and adults. His newest series, Magnus Chase and the God's of Asgard begins in October of 2015, with the release of the first book, The Sword of Summer, focusing on Norse mythology.

Riordan lives in Boston with his wife and their two sons, who inspired the Percy Jackson series through its beginnings as a bedtime story.

Join Jackson "Tres" Navarre (Percy Jackson's name seems to be Rick Riordan's tribute to his first ever protagonist), P.I. extraordinaire, armed with ostensibly drool-worthy cocktail recipes, as he kicks-ass and, ahem, tests the versatility of the hood of a Buick...along with his girlfriend (it's com......more

Rick Riordan, the brilliant author of Percy Jackson and the Olympiads. Excellent young adult books! But if you think this book will have a young adult feel, you'd be wrong. This book is very adult. And it won awards in 1998. So it is kinda amazing that he turned his brilliance to young adult books.......more

Goodreads review by Robert on August 12, 2012

What I liked about this book is that Riordan authentically knows San Antonio. Anyone who has lived there any time at all can follow in the mind's eye the travels around town, can taste the food at the restaurants, can rejoice that the speed trap is no longer in that spot, can appreciate the precise......more

Goodreads review by Mailis on August 05, 2010

I cannot imagine the pleasure of having a bestselling genius like Rick Riordan as your literature teacher, but i think the rate of cutting classes must be real low and the energy in the class high... Tres Navarre, seems the poor guy doesn't get any slack in this series at all, in a way the writing re......more

Goodreads review by Gosia on February 07, 2017

Riordan ma świetny styl pisania - przyjazny, łatwy, połączenie akcji z humorem, co rzadko się zdarza. Widać, że potrafi pisać nie tylko dobre młodzieżówki. Bohater, którego wszyscy chcą zabić, a ty go polubisz (i jego kota) Sięgne po kolejne książki.......more
