The widower's two step - Rick Riordan

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

Tres Navarre has just hours of apprenticeship time to serve before he can go for
his P.I. license. Staking out a musician suspected of stealing a demo tape should
be a piece of pan dulce. But his attention wanders just long enough for fiddle player
Julie Kearnes to be gunned down before his eyes. He should just back away and let
the cops investigate, but backing away has never been Tres's strong point.

The missing
demo and Julie's murder are just two of the problems besetting Miranda Daniels, a
pint-sized singer with Texas-sized talent. She's the prize in a tug-of-war between
two music hotshots who want to manage her career. One has a habit of making bad things
happen to people he doesn't like. The other has just vanished without a trace. As
Tres looks into the dirty dealings surrounding Miranda, it becomes clear he's stepped
into a rattlesnakes' nest of greed, double cross, and murder-and he may be the next
to be snakebit.
