ReviewsAdvance praise for Rick Riordan'sThe Last King of Texas: "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 Texasproves Riordan only gets better." --Dennis Lehane "Rick Riordan has a Texas-size talent for spinning a great story, andThe Last King of Texasis exactly that!" --Tami Hoag "There's a reason this guy keeps winning awards.The Last King of Texasis 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." --Harlan Coben, Edgar Award-winning author ofThe Final Detail And praise forThe Widower's Two-Step, winner of the Edgar Award: "My favorite of all the new investigators running around out there. A great story that moves faster than a drunk falling downstairs." --Robert Crais, author ofL.A. Requiem "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." --Publishers Weekly(starred review) Big Red Tequila, winner of the Shamus and Anthony Awards: "Riordan writes so well about the people and topography of his Texas hometown that he quickly marks the territory as his own." --Chicago Tribune "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." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Widower's Two-Step "Riordan writes so well about the people and topography of his Texas hometown that he quickly marks the territory as his own." --Chicago Tribune on Big Red Tequila -->
