Rick Riordan writes more than kids books

Post by LoremasterTappa »

I found out about a year ago that the author of one of my favorite young adult series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, also writes a mystery series for adults. I think most, if not all, center around Texas, and involve a PI named, Tres Navarre. The first book is called, Big Red Tequila. Here is the description I got from Mr. Riordan's website.

"Tres (pronounced “trace”) Navarre is an unlicensed private eye, a tequila drinker, tai chi master and outcast from Academia with a PhD in medieval studies and more than a few degrees from the street. After ten years in San Francisco, Tres comes home to San Antonio, hoping to put to rest old memories of the murder of his father, formerly the Sheriff of Bexar County. But the more Tres asks questions about that long-ago crime, the more he stirs up a hornet’s nest of politicians, mobsters, and crooked businessmen, all with secrets to hide and reasons to hate the Navarre family. The chances of survival looked better for the defenders of the Alamo."

I have been meaning to read it but haven't gotten around to it yet. Has anyone here read it?
"Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflected all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected on the dark sea of time.”
