Riordan, Rick The Devil Went Down to Austin
Bantam June 25, 2002 0-553-57994-0 / 9780553579949 Paperback Very Good
Powerful writing about a palpable evil distinguishes Edgar, Anthony and Sha mus award-winner Riordan's fourth Tres Navarre novel. The tough, wisecracki ng PI and English professor moves himself and the action from his San Anton io base to Austin, where he expects simply to teach University of Texas stu dents and visit with his brother, Garrett. But instead of tackling Beowulf he must tackle a different quest, a different monster. Garrett, software ge nius and free spirit, has launched a startup company called Techsan Securit y Software, with his friend Jimmy and Jimmy's wife as partners. Enter a tru ly nasty character who devours startup companies like Techsan, leaving a tr ail of ruined or dead owners in his wake. Techsan's brilliant beginnings le ad to a takeover offer, while the offer's rejection leads to troubles that threaten to destroy the company and the Navarre family ranch, which Garrett has used as security. Soon one of Garrett's partners is dead, Garrett's th e prime suspect and Tres is digging desperately for any foothold that will keep his brother from jail. An extremely skillful writer, Riordan manages a complicated plot without losing narrative force. Even the potentially dist racting use of periodic asides, in the form of e-mails from the killer abou t his past crimes, serves to heighten tension and provide a focus for the r eader. Then there's the spectacular, unforgettable description of a dive in to a preserved pecan orchard at the bottom of a man-made lake. Some blatant misdirection may disgruntle certain readers, but this is a mere quibble wi th a book sure to enhance the author's solid reputation.

Riordan, Rick The Widower's Two-Step
Bantam May 4, 1998 0-553-57645-3 / 9780553576450 Paperback Very Good+
Tres Navarre has just hours of apprenticeship time to serve before he can g o for his P.I. 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.
