HTML:From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series Multiple-award-winning author Rick Riordan brings back smart-mouthed Texas P.I. Tres Navarre for his most dangerous case yet. If you think the academic world is deadly dull, you're half right.... When a controversial English professor is found shot to death, Tres Navarre -- P.I. and Ph.D. -- is the only local academic crazy enough to accept the emergency opening at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Police assure him they already have a suspect, so while they wrap up the open-and-shut case, all Tres has to do is teach three classes, grade on a curve ... and walk in a dead man's shoes. It should be an easy assignment -- but one thing Tres doesn't do is easy. When the evidence in the case starts looking a little too perfect, when the killing doesn't stop, Tres takes on some extracurricular research into the heart of an assassin -- and lands in a high-stakes game of gangster honor on the darkest streets of San Antonio's West Side..... HTML:"In Rick Riordan's case, believe the hype. He really is that good, one of a tiny number of authors who can consistently make me laugh out loud. With stylistic talent to burn, characters who jump, fully realized, from the page in a matter of seconds, and an enviable sense of both place and pacing, Riordan's novels rock. The Last King of Texas proves Riordan only gets better.". Dennis Lehane. HTML:"There's a reason this guy keeps winning awards. The Last King of Texas is Riordan at his best--razor-sharp dialogue, crisp prose, a wonderful sense of place, and P.I. Tres Navarre, one of the coolest dudes I know. Rick Riordan is a master stylist. I can't wait for his next.". HTML:Harlan Coben, Edgar Award-winning author of The Final Detail. "The wide-open Tex-Mex atmosphere is right on target -- the characters are well-defined and original, the dialogue is tough and sharp, and narrator Tres's wry observations make him even more simpatico than the first time around.".
