Synopsis

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 PI 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.

Apparently, having the voice of a nightingale also makes you susceptible to being devoured predators. The second novel in the Tres Navarre series delves into a......more

Goodreads review by Katy-Del

Rick Riordan is so descriptive, I feel like I am in San Antonio or Austin. I love that. It was good, but I hated the people Tres was around in the book. Everyone Tres was supposed to be helping, Milo, the band, the boss's wife, they all just seemed like such bad, manipulative people. I was really ju......more

I wanted to love this because of my love for Percy Jackson and company. I didn't. It's like Chet and Bernie without the canine charm. Very straight-forward mystery with the overly macho dude sleeping with too many women. Ugh.......more
