The Last King of Texas - Rick Riordan

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....
