Ten years ago Navarre left town and the memory of his father's murder behind him. Now he's 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. It's obvious Tres has stirred up a hornet's 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 father's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Riordan writes so well about the people and topography of his Texas hometown that he quickly marks the territory as his own.\"--\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't miss any of these hotter-than-Texas-chili Tres Navarre novels: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIG RED TEQUILA - THE WIDOWER'S TWO-STEP - THE LAST KING OF TEXAS - THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO AUSTIN - SOUTHTOWN - MISSION ROAD - REBEL ISLAND\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Riordan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the #1\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series for children and the multi-award-winning Tres Navarre mystery series for adults.
