Reviews

"Raise your margarita to Rick Riordan.... This tale of revenge and remorse sizzles and skids like drops of water on a hot skillet."—Texas Monthly

"Starts off with a literal bang and then gathers speed from there."—Entertainment Weekly

"If not the king of Texas crime writing, Rick Riordan is certainly among the princes in a royal family that already includes James Lee Burke."— Denver Post

"Riordan writes so well about the people and topography of his Texas hometown that he quickly marks the territory as his own."—Chicago Tribune

Jackson "Tres" Navarre, San Antonio P.I. and Berkeley Ph.D., returns in this third and, so far, best installment of a promising series (following Big Red Tequila and Widower's Two-Step). Here, Tres is allowed to indulge in both of his career interests. After a controversial professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio is murdered, Tres takes his place and investigates while attempting to prove himself as a teacher. Not surprisingly, the explanation behind the murder is not as simple as it first appears. Riordan weaves a tight tale, capturing the spirit of south Texas and imbuing Tres with his own peculiar flavor--evidence that his style is maturing. This is certain to please fans of the first two Navarre novels and win new ones as well. Recommended for popular fiction collections.--Craig L.
