"Mission Road"

This Tres Navarre series by Rick Riordan really heats up in "Mission Road" when Ralph Arguello, a close friend of Navarre's, comes to him for help to prove he didn't shoot his cop wife, Ana DeLeon. While they're on the run from police trying to find out who really did it, Ana is fighting for her life in the hospital and Navarre's lawyer girlfriend,Maia, is trying to help them while keeping a secret of her own. The investigation takes them back to a cold murder case that Ana was working on involving a not so nice mafia family in San Antonio. It starts out with a bang and the suspense doesn't let up. I couldn't put it down and now I'm off to the library to find the next book in the series!
