"South Town"

Rick Riordan has written another great P.I. Tres Navarre mystery. This time there's been a jail break that has his boss, Erainya, very scared. Her deceased husband and his rival P.I.Sam Barrera put away one of the escapees (Will "the Ghost" Stirman)and his escape is bringing Erainya and Barrera together despite their business rivalry. Tres is in the thick of it trying to help both of them while keeping the peace between them at the same time. There's more at stake than Barrera and Erainya's lives because Erainya's adopted son might also be a target of revenge. How do they protect him and themselves while putting Stirman back behind bars? As usual, there's a lot hidden that comes out during this investigation making for a satisfying mystery to unravel. I hope Riordan never stops writing the Tres Navarre books as each one just seems to get better than the one before.
