Smart-mouthed private investigator and academic Tres Navarre is reluctant to take up a job at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and with good reason: the last two guys who held the post were murdered. But then a bomb hits the dean’s office, and the case begins to feel very close to home.
Delving into the past of his predecessor, Tres discovers he was the son of an amusement ride manufacturer known as ‘The King of the Carnivals’, who was also murdered – and the chief suspect, and gang boss, is back in town after years on the run . . .
Dark and deadly, The Last King of Texas is the third book in the multiple-award-winning suspense series by the internationally bestselling author of the Percy Jackson novels.
