Big Red Tequila

Big Red Tequila

"Big Red Tequila" (ISBN 9780553576443, 1997) is the first book in Rick Riordan's prize winning Tres ("trace") Navarre series of novels. It is a fast paced crime story with an unusually talented and flawed hero. Tres is a PhD academic in medieval studies and English, an unlicensed private eye, and tai chi master.

After some years in the San Francisco Bay area he has returned to his home of San Antonio, Texaswhere his father, a former Bexar county sheriff, was killed. The more he looks into the unsolved crime the more trouble comes his way.

Riordin brings San Antonio to life with deft understanding of the city and a myriad of interesting characters. These include politicians, cops, criminals, love interests, his cat Robert Johnson and his Jimmy Buffett loving parrot-head brother.

This novel won the Anthony Award for best original paperback and the Shamus Award for best First P.I. novel in 1997. [ [http://www.rickriordan.com/TresNavarre.html Big Red Tequila ] ]
