: In "The Devil Went Down to Austin," Rick Riordan, the acclaimed author who has won the prestigious Edgar, Anthony, and Shamus Awards, takes us on a thrilling ride with his quick-witted and tough-as-nails Texas PI, Tres Navarre. This time, Tres finds himself in the heart of Austin, where he must untangle a case that is as dark, twisted, and deadly as they come – one that hits close to home. Tres, a PI with a PhD in literature, is looking forward to a relaxing summer teaching job in Austin. But little does he know, he's about to get more than he bargained for. His older brother Garrett, a computer genius and die-hard Jimmy Buffett fan, has made a risky bet to retire as a millionaire by the end of the year. He's put everything on the line – including the family ranch – to make it happen. But when Garrett's business partner and childhood friend is found murdered, all eyes turn to him as the prime suspect. As Tres delves into Garrett's eccentric world in search of the truth behind the murder, he uncovers a web of damaged relationships, violent pasts, and high-stakes schemes in the world of technology. The common thread? The picturesque Lake Travis and the shocking secret hidden within its depths. With his own troubled family history weighing on his mind, Tres must race against time to clear his brother's name before a ruthless killer strikes again. But as he gets closer to the truth, Tres realizes that he himself is being hunted by a cold-blooded murderer – one who could bring an end to both the Navarre brothers. In this gripping thriller, Riordan once again proves why he is a master of suspense and keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
